A large map of Scotland, on two joined sheets. The Northern map has a list of the provinces and their capitals at upper left, and with a title cartouche on the right side. The Southern part has a title cartouche at lower right.

The map is the product of the late 17th century Venetian cartographer, Vincenzo Coronelli.
A decorative title cartouche appears bottom left in the form of a banner supported by playful winged mermaids and cherubs.
The remarkable Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718), encyclopaedist, geographer, inventor and Doctor of Theology, was citizen of the Republic of Venice.
He was also one of the most prominent mapmakers and publishers in Europe of his day.
