Lanarkshire. Thomas Kitchin provided the maps for this Scottish county atlas, first published in 1748 as a companion volume to Geographia Magnae Britanniae, which came out the same year. The two books were often bound together, but could also be purchased separately. There was a second edition of the work in 1756. This map combines the counties of Lanarkshire and Peebles. Stain from old mounting tape to the top white margin, just impinging the plate number but not otherwise affecting the printed image.
