About this Item
The map itself measures 19 1/2 " X 16 1/4". 1" closed tear at centerfold without paper loss. Light water-staining at bottom margin not encroaching onto the map. 1" worming at top margin of page not approaching the map. Vivid hand-colored map of Kintyre, a peninsula in Western Scotland, southwest of Argyll and Bute, about 30 miles long. Principal town is Cambeltown, known for the production of fine single malt whisky, Springbank being a prime example. Lovely engraved cartouche and mileage scale on left side of the map. Timoth. Pont noted in the cartouche. Map description is in Spanish on reverse of the left side of the map. From the "Nuevo Atlas de Los Reynos de Escocia e Yrlanda" , Volume V printed in 1662 by Joan Blaeu. The volume included 49 maps of Scotland and 6 maps of Ireland. The maps were based on the works of Timothy Pont, a pioneer Scottish cartographer. Blaeu maps of Scotland are rather scarce, produced only between 1654 and 1672. The Spanish edition of the Atlas is also quite scarce, published in 10 volumes in 1662. Joan Blaeu (1596-1673) produced fine quality hand-colored maps in his shop in Amsterdam, one of the premier mapmakers of his time. Please see photographs. Size: 24 1/2" x 21 3/4".
