A young woman looking downwards over her right shoulder. Her hands are crossed in front over a bundle wrapped in check material which she is carrying. She is elegantly dressed in a hat with ribbons, a cloak, a trained skirt.

It seems that her husband Matthew made the plates. Numbered 'V.2' upper left and '6' upper right.

Extremely rare lithographic broadsheet map with text. Sheet 390 x 510mm (15¼ x 20"). Folds, tear at central fold, small tears in edges repaired.
An allegorical map outlining the features around 'The Great Ocean of Love', including 'The Bay of Delight', 'Temple of Hymen' 'Cradle Point', the 'Quick-Sands of Inconstancy', 'Mountains of Deceit', the Dead Lake of Indifference and 'Callous Bay' on 'Divorce Island'. The surrounding text expands on the theme. Above the map are twelve lines of verse by Rev.d Dr. Isaac Watts (1674-1748), separated by a compass ross with the cardinals Hope, Love, Despair and Hatred. The National Library of Ireland has the same map, with the compass rose replacing the title, the text set differently and no quote from Watts, signed 'Callaghan Bro.s Lith. Cork'.
