Description
First map of Scotland made by an Englishman in England. Fine map of Scotland engraved by William Hole (one of the earliest English engravers) for the first illustrated edition of Camden’s Britannia, originally published 1607 with Latin text. This example accompanied the English translation printed in 1610 and again from the same plates in 1637. The English editions have not text on the reverse. Hole fashioned his double-page map of Scotland after the Mercator map of 1595 and the work of Saxton. Hole’s map was followed by John Speed’s “The Kingdom of Scotland.” First published in 1586, Camden’s Britannia provided a history of Britain from pre-Roman times. However, not until the 1607 edition, shortly before his death, did Camden include maps of English and Welsh counties as well as maps of Ireland and Scotland. Britannia was the first British atlas to feature a separate map of Scotland, making this the first map of Scotland made by an Englishman in England. Adhered to board. 10.375 x 12.5.
