"Teviotia vulgo Tivedail", Blaeu, Johannes

This finely engraved map depicts the historic region of Teviotdale, now near the county of Roxburghshire. The map, based on the work of Timothy Pont, famous surveyor of Scotland in the late sixteenth century, includes great detail of the rivers, cities, villages and castles. Major cities such as Jedburg, Selkirk, and Kelso are identified. An elaborate title cartouche and scale of miles cartouche decorate the map, both illustrated with regional figures. Latin text on verso.
