About this Item
Overall Size including text and borders : 11 1/4 x 13 1/2 ins. CONDITION: Single page Map that has a full page map on the back. As Scanned. This vintage map, titled "Scotland," is a detailed cartographic representation of the country from 1888. Created by Geo. F. Cram and published in Chicago, it showcases Scotland's complex geography, including its mainland and numerous islands. The map employs a pastel color scheme to differentiate between counties and regions, with clear labeling of major cities, towns, and geographical features. It depicts Scotland's rugged coastline, including the Hebrides, Orkney, and Shetland Islands, as well as significant bodies of water such as the North Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and various firths and lochs. Notable cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen are marked, along with smaller towns and villages. The map includes topographical elements, showing mountain ranges and major rivers. A scale in English miles is provided at the bottom, and the map is framed by lines of latitude and longitude. Historical regions and counties are clearly delineated, offering insight into Scotland's administrative divisions of the late 19th century. The map's aged appearance, with slight wear on the edges, adds to its historical authenticity. This comprehensive map serves as both a geographical reference and a historical document, capturing Scotland's landscape as it was understood in the late Victorian era.NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: This is a GENUINE ANTIQUE VINTAGE 1880s MAP.
