Description:
|
A new map of the Western Isles of Scotland' was published by Andrew Bell in Martin Martin's book 'A description of the Western Isles of Scotland' in 1703. A second edition, containing the same map was issued in 1716. Herman Moll, a prolific engraver and publisher of the day, engraved the plate; his name appears below the title cartouche. The map is derived from a nautical chart and shows most detail around the coasts, including small crosses showing dangerous shoals and anchors depicting anchorages.
