Description:
|
This anonymous map of 'The Kingdome of Scotland', dated to ca. 1630 is copied from the map of Scotland of 1610 published by John Speed which was itself based on the outline of Scotland drawn by Gerard Mercator in 1564. This map lacks the pictures of James VI and other members of the royal family which decorated the margins of Speed's map. There are also some variations in the place names which include burghs, castles and some abbeys. When a map was printed from the engraved plate, some copies might be sold without colour and others coloured. The colouring in this example is quite crude, with colours overlapping, or crossing the engraved outline, as occurred in the compass card and the title cartouche.
