A magnificent two-sheet map of Scotland - divided east to west into northern and southern sections - first published in Gerard Mercator's renowned "Atlas" from 1595. A two-sheet map of Scotland had appeared in Mercator's "Atlas Sive Cosmographicae ..." from 1595 and continued to appear when Hondius, and later Jansson, took over production. The plate was altered in 1636, as here; Mercator's name was erased and a new title cartouche was added. This example is the rare English text edition of 1636 with a description of the country to the verso. Finely engraved, decorated with sailing ships and sea monsters, and with attractive outline colour. A little repair and discolouration to the lower centrefolds, predominantly affecting the margins only.
