Iceland

YEAR 1730

The western part of the country is particularly out of shape, perhaps like the island has antlers. This shape likely comes from some sea chart. It is, however, not a chart, even if it has a nice compass rose in the lower-left corner; there are no rhumb lines, for example. This map was also issued by Carrington Bowles in London in 1784.
