Description:
Published when Scotland was receiving attention as a result of the Jacobite uprising of 1715, this map of Scotland by Henry Overton was based on an earlier by Nicholas Sanson. However it was directly copied from a map by Jaillot who had used Sanson's map as the basis for his own but added the inset picture of Edinburgh Castle. The map was originally included in both Herman Moll's 'Atlas Royal' and 'A collection of maps' by Henry Overton, and was re-published in 1745 under the new title 'A map of Scotland' with added roads and an additional engraving of Stirling Castle. This variant probably dates from between 1715 and 1745. In an elaborate cartouche with the royal coat of arms is a dedication to King George I.
