Description:
|
A map of 'Scotia' produced by Jodocus Hondius from a map created by Mercator in 1595. This smaller version is found in the 1607 'Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris a I. Hondio' which went through several editions in different languages in the 17th century. Hondius (1563-1612) was a Flanders-born geographer, publisher and engraver who set up in London in 1583. In 1589 he produced the first world map engraved in England and also produced plates for 'Mariners Mirror'. In 1604 he obtained Mercator's plates. The map differs only slightly from Mercator's, namely the cartouche, the calligraphy, the fewer place names, the shapes of some islands (especially Orkney and Islay), the less detailed coastlines, and the treatment of Ireland.
