Map of Scotland - 1714
Hermann Moll (d.1732) - The north part of Great Britain called Scotland... [London: H Moll, I. Bowles, T.Bowles, c.1726]


Moll moved to England from continental Europe in 1678, working initially as an engraver before becoming a publisher. His distinctive engraving style produces crisp, clear maps. First published in 1714, Moll's map of Scotland introduces a different outline, and incorporates new information from the surveys of John Adair. The attractive views are based on John Slezer's illustrations in Theatrum Scotiae, 1693.
