Handsome map of the Mediterranean, with seven inset maps of some important harbours - Marseilles, Genoa, Gibraltar, Leghorn (Italy) Algiers and Smyrna (Turkey).

John Thomson's 'County Atlas of Scotland' is generally considered the finest of its kind. Copper engraving. Original outline colour. Slightly darkened centrefold. Fine condition. Size: 60 x 49 cm.
