Description:
|
This map dates from 1721 when it was published by John Senex in his 'New General Atlas'. It was not copied directly from Gordon's map as the title claims but from a later one based on it by Niclaus Visscher which was published in Amsterdam in 1689. Christopher Browne had published the map before in 1705, and Senex merely reworked the copper plate to use it again. He added a new title, removed the previous publishers name and address and dedication. Traces of this can be seen below the scale bar. He also changed and added some place names. Reworking existing plates was common practise among map publishers, being far less laborious than creating new plates.
