Kincardineshire. 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. Stain from old mounting tape to the top edge of the top white margin, but 0.8 cms above the printed border.
