Octavo (185 x 115 mm.), contemporary marbled paper boards, rebacked in red morocco, gilt ruled, with original paper title label affixed to the upper board, spine with gilt ruled bands.

John Luffman (1751-1821) had a varied career being a publisher, engraver, goldsmith, author and geographer. He also became bankrupt in 1793 but appears to have recovered. His earliest recorded work is the engraving of the road strips for Taylor and Skinner's 'Survey and Maps of the Roads of North Britain' in 1776. In 1781 he was the engraver of Armstrong's large scale map of Rutland. These curious circular engravings of the counties of England and Wales are his most noted work and accompanied a geographical text. A rare atlas that has always been desired by collectors. It was first published in 1803 by Luffman in two issues. The second published in the same year included all of the maps in their second state, but by 1806 ownership had passed to the firm of Lackington Allen & Co. James Lackington (1746-1815) came from Somerset and was born to a drunken father. He left home at ten and worked initially as a meat pie seller. He was apprenticed to a shoemaker in Taunton and on the side bought and sold books. He was freed in 1767 and moved to Bristol where he continued in both trades. Although at this time he was still unable to read and write he composed several songs and ballads. He moved to London and with a legacy of £10 from his recently deceased grandfather he opened his first bookshop in 1774 at 46 Chiswell Street, Moorfields, London. In 1793 he brought in Robert Allen as a partner (ODNB states Robin Allen) and renamed it Lackington, Allen & Co. In 1794 the company moved to larger premises at the 'Temple of the Muses', Finsbury Square. The 'Repository of Arts' claimed in 1809 that a million books were on display. We do know from his accounts that he sold over 100,000 books a year. James Lackington retired in 1798 and was replaced by George Lackington (1768-1844), his third cousin. George is reported to have started in the business aged 13. It is believed his father bought him a share of the business.Exactly when Lackington, Allen & Co. acquired the rights to the New Pocket Atlas is not known. Judging by the scarcity of the first edition we might conclude it was not a financial success and when offered the opportunity to sell out, Luffman took it. Interestingly the title page remains unaltered, apart from the imprint, although that on the maps themselves remained the same. The title affixed to the upper board records the price for the atlas 'Price 7/6 Plain, or 10/6, in Colors'. The firm finally closed when George Lackington retired in 1826.

Original Half Leather Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Second Edition. 1806. Second edition. [iv], 42 pages of hand-coloured copper-plate maps with description of the counties of England; [i], 12 pages of maps of Wales with descriptive accounts; a double-page coloured index map; and a 1 page index. This is a scarce atlas of England and Wales, prepared for use of the young. John Luffman (1776-1820) was a London based engraver, publisher and professional goldsmith. He was also an author in his own right and an accomplished geographer. His early works were engravings of the road maps in Taylor and Skinner's Survey and Maps of the Roads of North Britain, 1776, followed by some city plans and a number of county maps. In 1803, he engraved, printed and published the work for which he is best known, "A New Pocket Atlas". It is noted for the unusual circular maps with detailed descriptive text below, which proved to be very popular. Each map is engraved with a text of topographical information below the map. He writes in his preface that geography is "too often neglected in the education of our your. A knowledge of the geography of our own country, in particular, must be obvious to every one. With a view to this part of juvenile education, I have been induced to offer to ther public the following sheets, elucidated with maps, that will at once make ther pupil acquainted, not only wioth the form and situation, but with every particular relative to each county. The book is bound in the original half-leather over marbled paper covered boards and a paper label on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some expected signs of its age of over 200 years. There is some shelf wear and soiling on the boards and there is a little damage and loss to the leather around the corner tips. About 1/4" of the leather is missing from the top of the spine and about 1/2" is missing from the bottom of the spine. The contents are tight and the maps are bright and clean. There is some foxing on the endpapers, the title page and index map at the end of the book. A few of the pages of maps have light finger smudges on the fore edge. The endpapers also have some soiling and there is a water stain on the top 1/2" and part of the fore edge of the front free endpaper. An old name and address has been written on the front free endpaper which also has a small book label from a previous owner, probably from the 1930s. Overall, this is a sound and clean copy of a scarce volume.

No binding. Zustand: Good. 70 x 70 mm., with text below, in fine full early wash colour. John Luffman (1751-1821) had a varied career being a publisher, engraver, goldsmith, author and geographer. He also became bankrupt in 1793 but appears to have recovered. His earliest recorded work is the engraving of the road strips for Taylor and Skinner's 'Survey and Maps of the Roads of North Britain' in 1776. In 1779, he was the engraver of Prior's large scale map of Leicestershire and in 1781 he was the engraver of Armstrong's large scale map of Rutland. Later in his career he became a publisher in his own right specialising in smaller maps and atlases such as the 'Select Plans of the Ports and Harbours of the World' (1800-1803). These curious circular engravings of the counties of England and Wales are his most noted work and accompanied a geographical text. A rare atlas that has always been desired by collectors. It was first published in 1803 by Luffman as a 'New Pocket Atlas and Geography of England and Wales'. A further issue was published in the same year, the maps in which are all in their second state, but by 1806 ownership had passed to the firm of Lackington, Allen & Co.

This is an example of the second state in which the plate number is nearer the map image. Refer Carroll (1996) 59; Chubb (1927) 308; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).

Printed in black ink on a 9 x 16.5 cm. piece of paper. A scarce piece of ephemera. Grubby, aged and worn. Laid down on part of a page from an album. A pastiche of a Georgian banknote, the main body of the text reading: 'No. 24 . . . . | Promise to pay to Ignorance, Hypocrisy & Fanaticism, Methodist Preachers, or Bearer FIVE Farthings, when Methodism shall have been done away with by the Pious exertions of the established Clergy, and when Iohn Bull's Family shall be no longer scared by the tale of the Devil let loose. | London the 1st. day of Septr 1810. | For Self, Be-just & Fear-not | Moral Rectitude.' In the margin to the left is a vignette of a methodist minister preaching, in circular border with words: 'I give ye this consolation You'll all be Damn'd'. Beneath the vignette are Luffman's details. Above the engraving is a four-line arrangement of a couplet by Pope: 'For modes of Faith | Let fiery Zealots fight, | He can't be wrong, |whose life is in the right.' Beneath the vignette are the following four lines: 'Mind not one word | Such stupid fellows say. | Fear the true GOD | and mend your sinful way.' Part of a series by Luffman. The British Museum has (from the collection of Edwared Hawkins) a copy of No.16, promising to pay 'to Spouter, Swearlie & Promptspeech, Affidavit Makers, or Bearer, Two Pence, when Coughing, Sneezing or the Bowel-easing Flatus', dated from London, 5 December 1809. Dorothy George has, as No. 11780 in her 'Catalogue of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum', a reissue of this item by S. W. Fores of Piccadilly, but does not have a copy of this original.

The final phase of the Peninsular War Engraved map, hand coloured. John Luffman (1751-1821) was one of the more interesting English publishers of the first decade of the nineteenth century; he began his career as an engraver, trained by John Bayly, a noted map engraver in the Goldsmiths' Company, producing a fine map of Antigua, where had resided in 1787 and 1789; however, and this was a common fate for engraver-mapmakers, he was declared bankrupt on 9th March, 1793, the bankruptcy certified on 21st December, 1793, and a dividend paid on 1st March, 1794. Although he continued in business, he was more cautious thereafter, restricting himself to producing small format atlases and handy-sized map of the theatres of war, principal towns and cities and battle-plans relating to the Wars of the French directorate and subsequent Napoleonic War. Having engraved a good number of maps, Luffman later reprinted them as atlases, for example Luffman's collection, or a geographical & topographical atlas (1815-1816) and Plans of the principal fortresses in the Netherlands and on the French frontier . (1816); the Newberry Library exemplar noted below seems to be from one such composite collection. This attractive map depicts the final phase of the Peninsular War, in which the Anglo-Portuguese army, commanded by the Duke of Wellington, having fought its way up through Spain, sought to cross the Pyrenees into southern France. Unrecorded on COPAC; British Museum, Department of Prints & Drawings, 1917,1208.4056; Newberry Library (Chicago) folio Ayer 135 .L94 1816 pl. [27]: bound in Luffman's Select plans of cities, harbours, forts, &c . [1816?], but not called for in the original edition.

London: Luffman, 1801. 170 x 135mm. Chart of the Gulf of Roses, published in Luffman's 'Select Plans of the Principal Cities, Harbours, Forts &c. in the World'. It was captured by the French four times between 1645-1808, the last time the Spanish were aided by Thomas Cochrane (much of the inspiration for C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower), who defended Fort Trinidad ('The Castle' on this map) for a number of weeks before the city fell, forcing him to leave.

London: Luffman, 1801. 135 x 160mm. Paper lightly toned. Plan of Genova's harbour, published in Luffman's 'Select Plans of the Principal Cities, Harbours, Forts &c. in the World'. The Ligurian Republic had been a French Protectorate since 1797 and was to be annexed in 1805: Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' starts with the sentence: 'Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes'.

London: Luffman, 1802. 165 x 130mm. Stitch holes in margin. Sea chart of Havana Harbour, published in Luffman's 'Select Plans of the Principal Cities, Harbours, Forts &c. in the World'.

London, 1813. Original colour. Sheet 350 x 295mm. Trimmed from a larger sheet, laid on old paper. A scarce plan showing John Nash's original layout of Regent Street in London, published before it had even been given a name. It shows the new road in yellow, carving through the existing buildings and roads. Regent Street was originally designed to link the Prince Regent's home in Carlton House (and his stables at the Royal Mews, now the site of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square) with his new 'Regent's Park' via Portland Place. However this plan shows an ulterior motive: the rebuilding of the area (knocking down 765 house, 449 of which belonged to the Crown) would increase the income from ground rent from £4,500 a year to £32,000.
