Description:
|
Le Royaume d'Escosse', a French map of Scotland dating from 1693. The map is credited to Nicolas Sanson (1600-67), the leading French geographer and cartographer, and tutor to Louis XIV. The map was actually redrawn and embellished by Alexis Hubert Jaillot (1632-1712) who managed the Sanson business in Paris. Despite the Sanson imprint, the content of the map is influenced by the Pont-Blaeu maps, notably in respect of lochs, forests, rivers and the inclusion of the Bass Rock. There are numerous place names and semi-scaled symbols for settlements, while the alignment of some places (e.g., Skye and Arran) is unusual. The map is on two sheets with different projections: conical for the southern sheet, and cylindrical for the northern.
