M.J. Armstrong A. Scotch Atlas or Description of the Kingdom of Scotland 1777-94
Caithness-shire. Mostyn John Armstrong's Scotch Atlas, was first published by Sayer and Bennet in London in 1777, a year after Armstrong had moved his domicile to Norfolk. It contained 30 maps - 3 general and 27 of the Scottish Counties - all skilfully engraved by H. Ashby. There were two later re-issues in 1787 and 1794. The work is one of only 3 Scottish county atlases published in the 1700's (or 4 if you include the series in the London Magazine), and maps from it are scarce. Original wash colour. A "tide mark" from a previous mounting. Some browning to verso.
