Measuring at 23.2x16.3 cm, this artwork is housed in The University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The engraving depicts an extraordinary journey undertaken by King James V of Scotland around his kingdom and the enchanting Hebrides and Orkney Isles. Guided by the skilled pilot Alexander Lindsay, this exploration was a testament to both royal ambition and Scottish maritime expertise.
