original engraved map
A fascinating hand coloured map by Scottish cartographer John Thomson (1777-1841). He was one of the leading publishers in the Edinburgh school of cartography, helping redefine European cartography by abandoning typical 18th century decorative elements such as elaborate cartouches in favour of detail and accuracy.
