Picturesque map of Great Britain from the National Geographic Society designed to show the country in a style of antique maps, highlighting locations of Shakespeare’s plays with British settings, plus a panorama view of London, etc.

The map is based on John Speed's "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland," from his 1611 atlas "Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine" and includes a panorama view of Shakespeare’s London with The Globe theatre in the foreground and looking over the Thames towards St. Paul’s and the Tower, plus a small street plan of present day Stratford-upon-Avon highlighting locations of sights related to Shakespeare.

Also included is a table that shows "Shakespeare's Plays with British Settings," which lists the period of action in each play and the reign of the kings.
