The hand-colored print, created by an English School artist in the 18th century, is housed at the New York Public Library in the USA. The intricately detailed map depicts various elements essential for navigation and cartography enthusiasts. With its focus on maritime routes and shipping lanes, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into Britain's rich seafaring history. Notably, it highlights key features such as Edinburgh Firth, Firth of Forth, River Tay, St Andrews, and pictorial relief.
