Superbly decorated map of Scotland including the Orkney and Hebrides Islands, based on Visscher, per the title. The map is filled with superb detail of towns, cities, markets, universities, and meticulously rendered topography. A decorative distance scale supports putti and the royal coat of arms of Scotland, while the title cartouche features the royal coat of arms of Britain, and the mythical figures of Mercury (messenger of the gods) and Ceres (symbolizing abundance).
