Annandia is a historical district in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It runs in a north-south direction through the Southern Uplands. It is the land of Robert the Bruce, given to his family in 1124 by David I. Map description is in Spanish. This plate is from Volume V of "Nuevo Atlas de Los Reynos de Escocia ae Yrlanda", printed in 1662 by Joan Blaeu from the maps of Timothy Pont, a pioneer Scottish mapmaker. The Blaeu Scottish maps are rather scarce, having been produced only between 1654 and 1672. The Spanish edition is likewise quite scarce, published in 10 (out of a proposed 12) volumes in 1662. Joan Blaeu (1596-1673) was the premier mapmaker of his time, produced fine hand-colored maps in his shop in Amsterdam. Please see photographs. Size: 24 1/2" x 21 3/4". Seller Inventory # 013569
