Mercator's Nuevo Atlas de los Reynos de Escocia e Irlanda (1662)
Title
Mercator's Nuevo Atlas de los Reynos de Escocia e Irlanda (1662)
Description
Blauer’s Atlas novus, which incorporates Mercator's cylindrical projection, condenses the astounding evolution that cartography had gone through since the earliest printed Ptolemee. Surely, the ornamentation in the representation of this region of Scotland would also be admired by contemporaries: coats of arms, cartouches, figures dressed in traditional costumes, angels holding scientific instruments, vessels, wind roses and fantastic animals
