An unusual map of northern Europe from an edition of Pomponius Mela's geography, published in 1711 by the Exeter scholar John Reynolds. Scandinavia and northern Europe are shown in a very odd configuration, with simple topography and ancient place names. Reynolds dedicated this map to Joshua Hickman, Mayor of Exeter in 1711.
