Historical map of the British Isles from the late sixteenth century, created by Stefano Bonsignori in 1575. It is an oil on wood painting.
The map illustrates the British Isles with their extent during the late sixteenth century. In the upper left and lower right corners, there are two coats of arms.
Note the precision of the contours of modern-day England. Ireland, on the other hand, is less precise.
Stefano Bonsignori, also known as Buonsignori (Florence, ... – Florence, September 21, 1589), was an Italian cartographer.
An Olivetan monk, he served Francesco I de Medici, becoming the Grand Duke's official cosmographer.
