Légende

The Isle of Wight, 1844. Map of the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, made using 'Mr. Palmer's patent Giyphographic process, or Engraved Drawing'. 'The Isle of Wight is situated in the English Channel, at a short distance from the mainland of Hampshire, of which county it has commonly been reckoned a part. The channel which divides it from the grand line of our southern coast, varies in width from two to six miles, and bears the appellation of the Solent Sea. The form of the island is irregular, but bears a rude resemblance to that of the heraldic lozenge'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
