A large chart of the entrance to the English Channel, with its biggest obstacle, the Scilly Islands. In 1707 a British squadron returning from the seige of Toulon mistook its position and lost four ships on the rocks, so careful mapping and the coastal profiles top right were very important.

The Kingdome of Scotland. London, Bassett & Chiswell, 1676. Coloured. 390 x 510mm. Split in centrefold margin repaired, edge of left margin reinforced.
A rightly famous map of Scotland, with an inset of the Orkneys. First issued 1611-12, the plate originally had portraits of James VI of Scotland and I of England, his wife Anne and their two sons. However in 1652 the Puritan ascendancy made it politic to re-engrave the plate: away went the Royal family, to be replaced by costume vignettes of a "Scotch" (i.e. lowland) man & woman and their wilder "Highland" neighbours. The checked garments worn by the second pair are considered to be one of the earliest depictions of tartan. 		£2,400

Moll's large-format map of Scotland, flanked by a chart of the Orkneys & Shetlands and eleven view of Scottish cities, engraved by John Kip. A striking map, first published 1714. Moll was very political, using this blanks areas of his large-format maps to express his views, for example his dislike of the Dutch & French, especially their mapmakers. (See MapForum.Com: Issue 6, Treacle & Vinegar). Here his target is not foreigners (Moll was a German emigré!) but the failure to capitalise on Scotland's resources. He marks the fishing grounds and states 'if things were rightly managed, there would be no reason to go to Norway for wood or New-found-land for fish; seeing North Britain can Plentifully furnish us with both'. 		£1,500

Edenburck in Schottl. Nuremberg: Paulus Furst, 1638. 100 x 150mm. A very fine and crisp example.
A very unusual view, copied from the Braun & Hogenberg view published 1572. However Meisner has added a cavalier-like figure, with swords hanging in his line of sight, a quote from Virgil, 'Vim Suscitat Ira, and more lines of verse in Latin & German. Neither the figure nor the text appear to have any connection with Edinburgh. Meisner's book of townplans originally appeared in 1623 with only 52 plates. In 1624-6 it was re-issued with 416, and again in 1638-42 with a new title, 'Sciographia', and 800 plates. This example comes from the last edition. 		£230
