‘SCOTLAND By Rob:t Morden’ c.1695 (First Edition)

An interesting, attractive and much sought after late17th century Robert Morden map of Scotland which was published in Camden’s Britannia (London: Swale, Awnshaw & Churchill, 1695 – 1772). Bishop Gibson described the maps from this series as “much the fairest and most correct of any that have yet appeared”. The maps are also notable for using up to three different mileage scales, none of which are based on the statute mile! This particular map was published only once and is consequently very rare. This is an original copperplate engraving with later hand colour. Printed area is approximately 35cms by 44.3cms. The map is in very good condition; centrefold, as issued. There is some very minor staining in the top border. Click on image for a better view. Click on ‘Delivery Policy’ for postage costs. Guaranteed to be at least 300 years old.
