Descripción

2 engraved maps, each approx. 300 X 490 mm., with some hand-colouring. [The above maps are later issues by Senex of maps issued in 1699 by Robert Hacke and Robert Morden. Senex removed the earlier imprints and changed the dedication from Lord John Sommers to John Haldane. The maps show the location of the ill-fated Scottish colony of New Edinburgh (popularly known as the Darien Scheme) founded by the Company of Scotland. The dedication to John Haldane of Gleneagles is an acknowledgement of his role as a director of the Company of Scotland.]. N° de ref. del artículo 24682
