Description:
|
A Dutch map of Scotland by Joannis Janssonius of Amsterdam and published in his 1628 'Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris'. The map is based on Mercator's map of 1595 but was engraved by Pieter van den Keere and A. Goos. There are stark differences between this and Mercator's map, particularly in the outline of the country and the islands. Landforms are generally narrower, though there are some new promontories, such as along the Ayrshire and Moray coasts. The map is part of the Marischal Collection, named after George Keith, 10th Earl Marischal of Scotland (d. 1778). Originally a Jacobite collection established by the Stuart court in France, it remained there until the National Library of Scotland obtained it in 1978.
