Historical notes:
An early example of product placement, this map was clearly meant to advertise other merchandise at the mapmaker's shop. Willdey (fl.1707-1737) made globes, scientific instruments, cutlery, toys, spectacles, and other useful objects at his shop, the Great Toy Shop in Ludgate, in addition to issuing large format decorative maps.
