Description:
This is a manuscript copy of one of the maps from John Adair's atlas 'The Description of the Sea-Coast and Islands of Scotland with Large and Exact Maps for the Use of Seamen', first published by him in Edinburgh in 1688. The other maps in the atlas, and the title page, were also copied in manuscript and are in images 00003242, 00003244 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. This copy lacks some of the detail of the printed original, specifically the rhumb lines, the vignettes of sailing-ships, the decorative geometric dividers and the ornate title cartouche. It has a wind-rose, with a fleur-de-lys pointer, and the title is in a plain box. The name of Nicolay D'aulphinois in the title cartouche of the original has been wrongly copied as 'Nicholay D'aldphinois'. Images of the original printed atlas are on this website 00000026-35. The printed original of this title page is image 00000027. Image 00000629 is another example of the printed title page.
