笔记

Large-scale map of the Midlothian.

John Knox (fl. 1800-1856), published his first survey of Midlothian in 1816. The map was so we received that it became the standard work for the county and an updated version was included in John Thompson’s ‘Atlas of Scotland’ – published in 1832 – the first large-scale county atlas of Scotland. In 1838 the plates were purchased by W. & A. K. Johnston, and re-engraved, updating the topography and adding new railways. The map – the present example – was subsequently published in Blackwood’s ‘Atlas of Scotland’ in 1855.

The map is superbly detailed giving information upon elevation by hachures, parish boundaries, field boundaries, parks, squares, rivers, roads, railways, cities, towns, villages, churches, gentleman’s seats, soundings, sea hazards, and anchorages.

Scale: 1.5 inches to the statute mile.
