"[Lot of 3] Scotia [and] Scotia Septentrion. [and] Scotia Australis", Hondius/Bertius

This matched set of 3 miniature maps comprise the entire section on Scotland from Bertius' geographical treatise. Each map is beautifully engraved with a strapwork title cartouche and moire-patterned seas. While the majority of the maps for Bertius' geographical treatise were engraved by Jodocus Hondius Jr. after Mercator, the individual maps of England, Scotland and Ireland were engraved by Salomon Rogiers after John Speed. Rogiers' imprint appears on the map of Scotia. French text on verso. Size varies slightly.
