British Isles.

Pinkerton's extraordinary 1818 map of the British Isles. Includes England, Scotland and Ireland. Covers the entire region in considerable detail with political divisions and color coding at the regional level. Identifies cities, towns, castles, important battle sites, castles, swamps, mountains and river ways. Inset of the Shetland Islands in the upper left quadrant. Title plate and two mile scales in the upper right quadrant, British Miles and Irish Miles. Drawn by L. Herbert and engraved by Samuel Neele under the direction of John Pinkerton. This map comes from the scarce American edition of Pinkerton’s Modern Atlas, published by Thomas Dobson & Co. of Philadelphia in 1818.
