The map depicts a route in the form of 6 vertical strips with a compass rose showing orientation; also shown are distance in miles from Kings Lynn, towns, churches, windmills, rivers, woods and hills which are shown pictorially.

On hand laid paper, delicately enhanced with later hand colouring .

A most attractive map which would frame well.
