This is a detailed drawing of an allegorical title page for a publication. The central figure is draped in a map-adorned robe, holding a scepter and a cornucopia, with laurel leaves on their head. Surrounding figures are in armor, with classical architectural elements like columns and statues. In the background, a boat is on the sea. The titles "POLY-OLBION" and "GREAT BRITAINE" are displayed prominently. Ornate borders and floral designs frame the image, with a cherub at the top. At the bottom, a banner attributes the work to Michael Drayton.
