"A New Description of the Shyres Lothian and Linlitquo. Be T. Pont", Hondius, Henricus

This map is based on the surveys of Timothy Pont, who is credited within the title. The map focuses on Lothian, with Edinburgh at the center. The map gives good detail of towns, roads, rivers, and mountains in the area. A superb cartouche in the Firth of Forth dedicates the map to King James I. Latin text on verso.

A nice impression with full contemporary color on a lightly toned sheet with some printer's ink residue, a bit of soiling, and several cracks that have been closed on verso with archival materials. There are several short edge tears and small chips along the sides of the sheet that have been partially closed on verso.
