Handsome pair of maps of Scotland, the northern part extends as far south as Blair Atholl. The southern part continues southwards to the English border. Inset view of ‘Island of Staffa’ at top left of northern part, and of ‘Port Patrick in Wigtonshire’at lower left of southern part. The New General Atlas was one of the most accurate and best produced atlases of the day.
Some area of slight darkening, but clean and fresh. Neat repair to top right margin of northern part, not affecting map. Very good condition.
