Coloured by Dirck Jansz. van Santen.

Map was first published in Mercator's "Atlas sive cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi et fabricati figura" printed in Duisberg in 1595 ; after the 1636 English edition the sea engraving, and ship illustration, were removed.
Map is a later variant of the previously untitled map of southern Scotland published by Mercator and Hondius.
The title has been added in a cartouche on the lower left where a list of islands in Loch Lomond appeared in previous states.
Faint traces of sea engraving show it to be a later printing from the same plate as the map issued in the French edition of "Nouveau theatre du Monde..." by Hendrik Hondius in 1639.
