This is a beautiful map of Ireland by Daniel Beaufort. Apart from being the Navan and Mountrath (Ireland) Church of Ireland rector, the Reverend Daniel Beaufort was a man of considerable talents and many interests, but hopeless with money. He managed two farms as well as working as a magistrate to make ends meet. He excelled as a topographer and in 1792 published the Grand Topography of Ireland one of the earliest collection of detailed maps of the country.
