Info: Illustrated Maps of Scotland from Blaeu's Atlas Novus of the 17th Century.
Blaeu's 'Atlas Novus' was published in Amsterdam, with 47 printed maps of parts of Scotland based on Pont and Gordon manuscripts. This could be described as the first atlas of Scotland. (The volume also includes Ireland.) In the 1654 edition, which had six volumes, maps of Scotland are in volume five. By 1662 the atlas, now entitled Atlas Major, had grown to 12 volumes, and Scotland is in volume 6. A reduced facsimile of maps from the 1654 atlas has been published: Jeffrey C Stone's 'Illustrated Maps of Scotland from Blaeu's Atlas Novus of the 17th century' (London: Studio Editions, 1991).
