"Evia et Escia, Scotis Eusdail et Eskdail", Blaeu, Johannes

This beautifully engraved map covers Eskdale, a subdivision of the county of Dumfriesshire within the Scottish Borders. The map includes great detail of the rivers, cities, villages and castles and is based on the work of Timothy Pont, who conducted an important survey of Scotland in the late sixteenth century. Two large, lovely cartouches adorn the map, both featuring illustrations of animals and regional figures. French text on verso, published between 1663-67.
