Old County Map of Kyle and Mid Ayrshire 1654 by johan Blaeu from the Atlas Novus

This detailed and most attractive reproduction map of Kyle and Mid Ayrshire has been carefully art worked from a scan of an antique original. A map of the historic Scottish district of Kyle, bordering Carrick, Galloway and Clydsdale. Based on the work of the famous Scottish surveyor Timothy Pont. Map is very detailed, with the inclusion of rivers, lochs, mountains, cities, villages and castles. With decorative title and scale cartouches, the former surrounded by regional figures and their livestock. Dedication is in a fantastically detailed cartouche, the Scottish rampant lion crest flanked by two further lions and with the motto conscia virtus'. Some of the decoration has been picked out in gold. Latin text to verso. From Blaeu's Atlas Novus'. The famous firm of Dutch cartographers and publishers was established in the late 16th century by Willem Janszoon Blaeu in Amsterdam. Blaeu was a maker of globes and scientific instruments and purchased some of his early map plates from Jodocus Hondius. From this small beginning was to emerge one of the largest and most prolific map publishing houses of the seventeenth century
