Book Description

An extremely attractive large-scale map of Scotland by Cary, dated August 1st 1801, consisting of four non-conjoined sheets, each 53cm x 66cm, with original hand colour. Shows in each sheet respectively: The Atlantic Atlantic (with Shetland Isles in inset); The Western Ocean; The German Ocean; The North Sea (with Orkney as an inset). In very good condition. Would make an excellent display if framed as four separate maps juxtaposed on a wall. John Cary (1755-1835) was a fine, prolific map-maker whose influenced profoundly the direction of map-making in Britain. This is an elegant and spacious example showing his work at its best.
