Description:
A map from part of an engraved and printed mid 18th-century Pocket Atlas of Europe. The outline of Scotland appears to have been copied from a map based on the outline produced by Mercator's Atlas of 1595. The rather elongated form of Ireland looks very like that produced by Blome in 1673. The copying of earlier maps rather than using the most recent surveys often meant that atlases were not exactly 'state-of-the-art'. Pocket Atlases were a commercial venture generally produced as cheaply as possible.
