This week #MondayMappery features two of Ireland by Nicolaes Visscher & Mattheus Seutter. Seutter’s map (c.1740) is a closely re-drawn version of Visscher’s (c.1690) – a typical method of informing maps at the time.

Brought to you by our HeritageMaps.ie programme, our #MondayMappery series looks at Ireland as represented on the World’s Oldest maps & follows its Cartographic development through 7 centuries! These maps are the work of Abraham Ortelius creator of the first modern atlas.
For this week's #MondayMappery we look at a nautical chart of the Irish coast and the ‘Mer D’Irande’. Beautifully drawn, published in Amsterdam in 1693 by Pierre Mortier, it features the work of Alexis Jaillot.

This week’s #MondayMappery features Philip Lea’s 1690 map of Ireland based on Petty’s surveys as featured last week. An interesting map, it shows Ireland separated from Britain by ‘The Ireish Sea’.

This week's #MondayMappery features two maps by Frederick de Wit dated c. 1682. Ireland’s form appears very differently in both images – yet the two maps featured in the same atlas ‘Tot Amsterdam’.
