Description:
|
This map is a close copy of Nicoleas Visscher's map of 1692; it shows Scotland with Orkney and the Western Isles. It was copied in 1710 by Johann Baptist Homann for inclusion in his 'Atlas Novus' and was reprinted by his heirs in books as late as 1790. The hand colouring divides Scotland into North and South. Note the wedge shape of the Western Isles; the islands were depicted like this on most maps of Scotland after Blaeu's of 1654, until they were surveyed in more detail by Murdoch Mackenzie in 1750.
