Description:
|
This is one of several maps of Scotland produced by Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville in Paris in 1665 in an atlas entitled 'Cartes Generales de toutes les partie du monde'. There was considerable contact between Scotland and France during this period. Sanson was geographer by appointment to the French king Louis XIV (1638-1715). Charles II, King of England and Scotland, a cousin of Louis XIV, spent much of his exile in France until his restoration in 1660 after the English Civil War. The scale illustrates the variety of systems of measurement used in 17th century Europe, showing Roman miles (1000 paces), English and Scottish miles, and French and German leagues. Standardization began in 1795 when France officially adopted the metric system.
