Points of interest are the plan of Nottingham, and "The Armes of such Honorable Familyes as have borne the titles of Earles of Nottingham", numbering six in all. These coats of arms include that of Richard, Duke of York. The "Forest of Sherewood", the home of the famous Robin Hood, is also featured, and in the bottom left hand corner, a "Scale of English miles" enhances this lovely piece of artwork.
