Old Map of Lothian - Scottish Lowlands by Johan Blaeu from the Atlas Novus
This detailed and most attractive reproduction map of the Scottish Lowlands, known as Lothian, has been carefully art worked from a scan of an antique original. The famous firm of Dutch cartographers and publishers was established in the late 16th century by Willem Janszoon Blaeu in Amsterdam.
