Allegorical map of love and marriage, showing the dangers and rewards in the Great Ocean of Love on the way to the Fort of Felicity. "At the top of the image an appropriately solemn wedding is being conducted, while to either side a young man and a maid face each one another across the Great Ocean. The Ocean itself is shown in bird's-eye view, dotted with dozens of pictorial vignettes illustrating aspects of the romantic experience. Would-be lovers are guided by a compass rose at lower-left, featuring the cardinal directions of Hope, Love, Despair and Hatre-The whole is flanked left and right by long columns of text, which play out the allegory in very great detail."--Boston Rare Maps.
