The Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland as Mapped in 1882

About the Item

Title: 1882 Blackie Atlas Maps of Scotland: Northern and Southern Regions Description: These two maps from the 1882 Blackie Atlas provide a detailed representation of Scotland, split into the northern and southern regions. They offer a comprehensive view of the country's geography, topography, and major settlements during the late 19th century. The maps include the rugged Highlands, the Inner and Outer Hebrides, and the Lowlands, capturing Scotland’s diverse landscapes. The northern map focuses on the Highlands and Islands, showcasing the intricate coastline and numerous islands such as the Orkneys and Shetlands. Major features include mountain ranges, rivers, and small towns scattered across the sparsely populated region. The southern map highlights the Lowlands, including major cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow. It also covers the borders with England and the fertile agricultural regions. The Firths of Clyde and Forth are prominent, along with other key waterways. Both maps include clear labels of towns, rivers, mountain ranges, and political boundaries, offering a snapshot of Scotland’s historical geography. Condition Report: The maps are in good condition for their age, with minor discoloration typical of 19th-century paper. The edges show slight wear, and there are faint fold lines, as expected from atlas use. The printed details remain sharp, and the coloring, used to distinguish regions and boundaries, is vibrant and intact. Tips on How to Frame These Maps: 1. Choose classic wooden or metal frames with a neutral or antique finish to complement the vintage nature of the maps. Dark wood tones such as walnut or mahogany pair well with the historical theme. 2. Use acid-free matting to protect the paper from aging and ensure the maps are preserved long-term. 3. Opt for UV-protective glass to prevent fading from light exposure. 4. For a professional and polished look, float mount the maps to showcase their edges, or use a wide mat border for a clean presentation. 5. When displaying the maps together, align them vertically to maintain their regional continuity. Recommended Matting Color: Use neutral or earth-toned matting, such as cream, beige, or light gray, to complement the maps’ natural aged tones. A subtle green mat can also work well, reflecting the natural landscape of Scotland. Avoid bright or bold colors that may distract from the intricate details of the maps.
