Antique map titled 'Holy Island, Staples and Barwick.'
A map of the coast of Northumberland, England. This map includes Holy Island, Buckton, Sunderland and the Farne Islands. The map includes soundings, anchorages, shoals, and rocks. An inset map (help up by two putti) shows the surroundings of Berwick, with the mouth of Tweed River. The island indicated on Holy Island is Lindisfarne Castle. The map is South oriented. From Greenvile Collins' 'Great Britain's Coasting Pilot', published by Richard Mount: 1693.
Artists and Engravers: Engraved by 'F.W. Oetjes' after 'Greenvile Collins'. Greenvile Collins (1643-1694) was an officer of the Royal Navy and prominent hydrographer, who compiled Great Britain's 'Coasting Pilot', the first survey of the country's coast undertaken by a Briton.
