English: Pinkerton's extraordinary 1818 map of the Remote British Isles. Essentially three maps in one, this chart depicts the Scilly Isles, the Shetland Isles and the Jersey and Guernsey Islands. Upper left map depicts the Scilly Isles, naming each, and identifying various undersea dangers in the channels between the islands. Upper right map details the Shetland Isles, naming each as well as offering inland details. The lower half of this map is dedicated to the Channel Islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Alderny. Also includes a significant portion of adjacent France. Shows numerous undersea dangers and shoals in the English Channel and around the islands. Drawn by L. Herbert and engraved by Samuel Neele under the direction of John Pinkerton. This map comes from the scarce American edition of Pinkerton’s Modern Atlas, published by Thomas Dobson & Co. of Philadelphia in 1818. |
