Description:
|
In 1605-1610, Pieter van den Keere published 44 maps of the British Isles, in Amsterdam. They included 6 of Scotland, all of which had been signed by van den Keere, with the Latin version of his name 'Petrus Kaerius'. The maps of Scotland were published by George Humble, of London, in the 1627 edition of John Speed's 'England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland Described'. Humble had acquired the van den Keere plates, and for the edition of Speed he re-engraved the title plates in English. This map has been extracted from the 1627 edition of Speed and pasted on to a loose sheet. The maps in images 00002380 and 00002382 have also been extracted from the Humble 1627 edition of Speed, and pasted on to a loose leaf, although that in image 00002380 was new to the 1627 edition and may not be van den Keere's. However, the map in image 00002382 still has his Latin name on it.
