MOUNT, W. & J. & PAGE, T : A New Chart of the Sea Coast of Scotland with the Islands thereof

W & J Mount and T. Page at the Postern on Tower Hill, London, 1715-[49]

470 x 530 mm., with a double fold as issued in the atlas, upper corner repairs and margins of second folds all superbly restored, otherwise in excellent condition.

A rare sea chart of Scotland first published by Mount and Page in the 'English Pilot First Part, Southern Navigation' in 1715. It extends to the north to include the Outer Hebrides, the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands. An inset features 'A Plan of Holy Island and the Staples'. All of the major ports, harbours and castles are featured along the coasts, with as might be expected no inland details given. Soundings are shown along the east coast in the Firth of Forth north to Dundee along with a few others. The title helps to fill the blank area of the mainland. A later second state exists with a new title cartouche in the sea upper right. Moir (1983) II p. 12; NMM 423 no. 89; Shirley 'Atlases in the BL' M.M&P 1b no. 3.
