Reference : LBW-8438
Très grande carte touristique de l'Écosse, dessinée par Frederick Griffin et publiée vers 1960 par The Scottish Tourist Board, organisation de tourisme fondée en 1945, aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de VisitScotland. Cette carte a été conçue dans le cadre d'une campagne pour la promotion du tourisme en Écosse, mettant l'accent sur l'histoire de l'île, illustrée de nombreuses vignettes représentant des sites et personnages historiques. Ainsi, dans la ville de Lanark, on peut voir une représentation de Lord William Wallace, l'une des principales figures de la résistance écossaise contre l'Angleterre, tuant le shérif anglais de Lanark, William de Heselrig, en 1296. La carte est décorée des armoiries de l'Écosse et de seize villes écossaises. En carton en haut à droite, carte des îles Shetland et Orcades. Les symboles utilisés se rapportent aux villes et villages, ports, aéroports, stations balnéaires, sites de pêche, châteaux, abbayes, prieurés et monastères, et cathédrales. La carte figure également les routes principales, les limites des comtés, les routes maritimes et les principales routes ferroviaires. La mer du Nord est décorée d'une rose des vents. L'artiste anglais Frederick Griffin (1906-1976) a réalisé de nombreuses affiches de voyage pour les chemins de fer et les compagnies aériennes britanniques. Bon exemplaire. Traces de bande adhésive dans les marges, papier légèrement froissé par endroits.
