Description:
|
Andrew Sibbereysen engraved this map of Scotland for Georg Matthaus Seutter to include in his 'Atlas Novus'. It was published in Augsburg, Germany, sometime around 1735. It is a very close copy of a map of Scotland by Nicolaus Visscher which was printed about 45 years earlier, but here it has been given a new title. The practise of copying earlier maps was quite common, as a quick way to produce new maps. Mapmakers in London also copied Visscher's map. The ornate title, scale cartouches showing hunting and fishing, and the coats of arms make this a very decorative map.
