EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Map of the Kingdom of Scotland, 17th century". Created by an unknown artist during the seventeenth century, this map is a testament to the artistry and precision of cartography in that era. Influenced by Gerard Mercator's renowned atlas from 1565, it offers a glimpse into Scotland's geographical landscape during this period. Vibrant and colorful, this map takes us on a visual journey through Scotia Regnum (the Kingdom of Scotland). It meticulously depicts not only its mainland but also its surrounding seas and islands, including the enchanting Hebrides. The topographic details are intricately illustrated, allowing viewers to explore every nook and cranny of Scottish terrain. The delicate compass rose serves as both an aesthetic embellishment and a functional tool for navigation. Its presence reminds us that maps were not just works of art but practical instruments used by explorers and adventurers alike. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we can't help but appreciate the dedication and skill required to create such intricate cartography without modern technology. This print transports us back in time to an era when maps were cherished possessions that unlocked new worlds within our own. Displayed proudly at O Shea Gallery in London, UK, this out-of-copyright masterpiece continues to inspire awe with its beauty and historical significance. A true treasure for any lover of geography or Scottish heritage!
