?
The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.
Reason: Name is incorrect in three different ways:
  1. It is not the Isle of Ely; it is the whole of Cambridgeshire
  2. It is not by Joan Blaeu; it is from Joseph Ellis's English Atlas: Or, A Compleat Chorography of England and Wales published by Robert Sayer
  3. It is not from 1648; the atlas was first published in 1765 (this colour version may be later).
See "CAM 068" in this catalogue (or just look at the text in the cartouche and the bottom edge of the map itself)
