New and improved chart of the Hebrides or Lewis Islands and Adjacent Coast of Scotland from the Mull of Cantire to Cape Wrath /
Norie, J. W.(John William),1772-1843.
J.W. Norie & Co.
London : J.W. Norie & Co.,
1816 [i.e. 1851]
Bathymetry shown by soundings ; relief on land by hachures and shading.
This chart is a further re-working of the plate previously used by Norie, and in 1804 by William Heather ; this state has increased depiction of relief and St.Kilda moved to its correct location, with additional lines showing the visible range of lighthouses.
The imprint still reads 1816, implying this work is a re-use of the earlier plate, rather than a complete re-engraving.
The name of the original engraver J. Stephenson has been removed.
The vignettes appear to have been re-worked with much clearer lines of sea.
Insets: The Sound of Mull. 1 nautical mile to 3/4 inch; A Plan of the North East Passage into the Inner Sound. 11/16 inch to a mile.
Insets: The Sound of Mull ; North East passage in to the inner Sound.
