Description:
This is the title page of a manuscript copy of the maps from John Adair's atlas of the same title, first published by him in Edinburgh in 1688. The six maps in the atlas were also copied in manuscript and are in images 00003243 to 00003246, and 00003260-00003262. There is no certainty as to the origin or purpose of these manuscript copies, which are less detailed than the original printed maps. It is possible that they were drawing and copying exercises for the Tower of London Drawing Room draughtsmen, since they all have the Board of Ordnance stamp. The original title page has been almost exactly reproduced, even to the accurate copying of the different fonts of the original. Images of the original printed atlas are on this website 00000026-35. The printed original of this title page is image 00000026.
