Description:
A map of the Kingdom of Scotland ('Regnum Scotiae') from about 1705 by Gerard Valk (or Valck) and his son Leonard. Gerard (c.1650-1726), a publisher and engraver in Amsterdam, became a partner with Pieter Schenk and obtained some of Blaeu's copperplates (1683). Leonard (d. 1755) worked with him on several maps. This map's most distinct feature is the shape of the west coast. Longitude was overestimated here by at least one-half. The map is densely packed with place names and rivers: further inaccuracies include the alignments and shapes of islands, as well as errors in latitude. The map was later published in 'Atlantis sylloge compendiosa' by Valk and Schenk (1709) and in the 'Nieuwe Atlas' by Covens and Mortier (1707-41).
