A framed hand-colored 16th century map of Northern Scotland by Gerard Mercator entitled "Scotiae pars Septentrionalis", published in Amsterdam in 1636. It is a highly detailed map of the northern part of Scotland, with the northwest Highlands and the cities Inverness and Aberdeen, as well as the Orkney Islands and the Hebrides. There is a decorative title cartouche in the upper left corner.
The map is presented in an antiqued brown wood frame with a sage-colored middle panel and a cream-colored French mat. There is a center fold, as issued and two small spots in the left margin and lower portion of the map. The map is otherwise in very good condition. less
