In den WarenkorbNo binding. 395 x 485 mm., early outline colour; short centrefold splits to upper and lower margin, small hole upper centre in the map, repaired, with very large margins, otherwise a fine example. The original Saxton plate was prepared in 1577, the busiest year of production with twelve maps so dated. The presence of Saxton's na…me on the Burghley proof example led Evans and Lawrence to conclude that the Monmouth was one of those produced later in the year. The plate is unsigned and has not been attributed to any particular engraver. As explained above when Philip Lea acquired the maps he appears to have produced them in two distinct states. The earlier issue is dated to c.1689 and survives in just three known examples. This is an example of this RARE EARLIER STATE before the addition of the roads after John Ogilby and the arms of James Scott, Duke of Monmouth, which would occupy the right hand shield.Philip Lea flourished 1666-1700 as a cartographer, globe and instrument maker and map seller. His atlases were rarely uniform usually being made to order and his editions of Saxton's atlas are similarly varying in content although built around his stock of the original plates. These he acquired sometime around 1689, but from whom is unknown. The fate of some of the plates is unclear but two, Devon and Northumberland, never reappear suggesting that they might have been lost in the Fire. They were replaced by a plate engraved for Lea; that of Devon is signed by Francis Lamb and is offered here under Philip Lea. That of Essex appears to have been unavailable for reasons unknown as Lea issued another. However the original was eventually acquired as examples of Lea's second edition often utilise the Saxton plate. Middlesex was first replaced by John Ogilby's plate of the county c.1673 which had been acquired by Lea. Then Lea acquired five county's published by John Seller which included a Middlesex, he tended to prefer Seller's version. Kent was not bought. Lea had acquired the county maps of Seller by 1693 as the Whitaker copy of the Saxton-Lea atlas can be securely dated to that year and contains the five maps. After acquisition of the Saxton plates Lea set about updating them for publication. This process involved extensive re-engraving of the old plates by incorporating new geographical and decorative material. However during this process some copies of the atlas were sold and two distinct issues have been identified with two different versions of the title page. The early edition dated to c.1689 survives in just three known examples. Lea gradually effected the alterations to the plates he desired which included converting the remaining Latin titles to English, the addition of crowns, crosses and mitres to represent various categories of town. Roads were added to the maps following the publication of John Ogilby's landmark 'Britannia' in 1675. Similarly Hundreds were added to the remaining maps as were town plans. The finished set of plates were completed by 1693 and represent their final cartographic form as only the imprints were altered after this date. In the finished form they also appeared in a French edition entitled 'Atlas Anglois contenant Les Cartes Nouvelles tres Exactes â¦' surviving in a unique example.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. The Shires of England and Wales Described by Christopher Saxton: Being the Best and Original Mapps, with Many Additions and Corrections by Philip Lea. London: Sold by Thomas Jefferys.in Red Lyon Street near St. John's Gate, [1749] Folio (18 1/4 x 12 1/4 in.; 46.5 x 31 cm). Engraved title-page, 38 double-page or foldin…g regional andcounty maps handcolored in outline; the maps neatly numbered in manuscript on the title-page index, a few minor marginal tears and foxing or staining, some creases. Half calf over blue marbled boards, the spine in 6 compartments with raised bands, one with red morocco lettering piece, the others with repeat gilt decoration; rebacked, preserving original spine, corners and endpapers renewed. Of the 38 maps in this atlas, 29 show evidence of erasures of George Willdey's imprint in the cartouches. According to Evans & Lawrence, "Willdey's imprints have been erased [in the Jefferys 1749 edition], leaving many of the maps scarcely distinguishable from those of Lea's last edition in c. 1693; All Saxton's plates had reached their final state, cartographically, by c. 1693; alterations thereafter were minimal" (p. 58). The map of Cambridgeshire is by Jonas Moore, Hertfordshire by John Seller, Middlesex by John Ogilby and engraved by William Binneman, and the map of Devonshire was engraved by Francis Lamb.

Christopher Saxton's map of the county of Hampshire is one of the earliest he produced, two were made in 1574 and according to Evans and Lawrence only two or three maps were likely to have prec…eded it in 1575. It was engraved by Lenaert Terwoort (fl.1575-91), he was one of a number of Dutch engravers of the work and apart from the five maps he contributed and that he originated from Antwerp, little is known of him. Saxton (1542?-1610?) produced one of the earliest national surveys of any kind and the first uniformly conceived cartographic survey of England and Wales. It was begun in about 1574 and completed by 1579: "in the long list of British atlases the first name is also the greatest, the name of Christopher Saxton" (Chubb). Evans and Lawrence wrote that he "left a legacy of maps of the counties of England and Wales from which succeeding generations of map-makers drew extensively ⦠amazingly accurate in detail, [the atlas] survives as testimony to his expertise when surveying techniques and comprehension of the mathematical sciences were still limited." They are arguably the most highly prized by collectors of county maps. Philip Lea (fl.1666-1700) was a cartographer, globe, instrument maker and mapseller.

In den WarenkorbWaghenaer's Legacy Engraved charts, original hand-colour, dissected and mounted on linen. Rare chart of Europe and the Mediterranean based on Waghenaer's seminal chart of those waters. The work, first issued by Philip Lea and Robert Morden in around 1690, is an exceptionally rare example of a chart of European waters published b…y an English mapmaker. The chart, in the portolan style with compass roses, rhumb lines, and cartographic information limited to the litoral, takes it's inspiration from Waghenaer's 'Universe EuropaeMaritime', the first printed chart of European waters - first published in The Netherlands in his work the 'Spieghel der Zeevaerdt' (1583), with an English edition appearing in 1588. The present chart is a later state of the plate, when it had come into the possession of the Bowles family of mapmakers and publishers. It is known that following Philip Lea's death, in 1700, the business was carried on by his wife Anne, taking Richard Glynne, the husband of her step-daughter, into partnership in 1712. The business continued until 1730, when Anne passed away. That same year the contents of the Lea's business were put up for auction, with Thomas and John Bowles (amoung other mapseller) being eager buyers, and where they most likely came into the possession of the present chart. No known example of the chart bearing Thomas or John Bowles imprint are known, though the plate clearly survived until the latter part of the eighteenth century, when John's son Carington Bowles, published the present chart in 1779. Carington Bowles has reworked the plate, re-engraving the dedication and title, and added several place names to the continent including: Danish Lapland; Russian Lapland; Lithuania; and Polish Prussia. This reflects the changing political landscape especially regarding the the First Partition of Poland, which occured in 1772. States of the chart State 1 - imprint of Morden and Lea c1695 State 2 - Morden imprint erased and dedicatee Edward Russell now Earl of Orford, a title he was raised to in April of 1697. c1697 State 3 - imprint of Carington Bowles, title and dedication re-engraved, new country names added to the continent. Rarity We are only able to trace one institutional example of the present chart: The Spanish National Library. We are unaware of another example of the chart appearing on the market since the Second World War.

In den WarenkorbNo binding. Zustand: Good. The FIRST STATE in fine EARLY OUTLINE COLOUR of the FIRST PLAN OF NEW YORK HARBOUR. 450 x 550 mm., in early outline colour, with two marks lower centre, otherwise in good condition. The FIRST STATE in fine EARLY OUTLINE COLOUR. This rare map contains the FIRST PLAN OF NEW YORK HARBOUR. 'In May 1685 Joh…n Thornton, Robert Morden and Philip Lea advertised for sale a multi-sheet map entitled 'A New Map of the ENGLISH EMPIRE. in the Continent of AMERICA'. Although earlier multi-sheet maps of the Americas existed, namely the Augustine Herrman 1673[74], none survive that were of the entire English colonies in North America' (Burden). Only the one known example survives in the Bibliothà que Nationale, Paris. It was cleverly designed in such a manner that allowed some of the sheets to be separately issued. One of these is offered here, A NEW MAP OF NEW ENGLAND NEW YORK. 'This can be shown by the fact that the title runs in a narrow border along the top, so that when made up as a wall map it may be pasted or cut out. A main area of debate is whether the map appears in an earlier state than that surviving today. It has been argued that the inset plan of New York harbour and the scale and imprint cartouche below it are later insertions, and that they do not appear on the state intended for the wall map. The author believes this is not the case as the scale is the only one on the finished wall map. The plan was inserted at a later stage of production merely because the information became available, and quite possibly because the Duke of York, the harbour's proprietor, was the newly crowned King. It was clearly a late insertion as a sand bar on the main map has been altered to match that in the inset.'The inset is the first printed chart of New York harbour, and superseded the efforts of John Seller in his map of New Jersey, c.1675. Taliaferro identified the source as being a manuscript by Philip Wells. East New Jersey had been sold to William Penn and eleven other Quakers in February 1683. They requested that Wells produce a map of New York harbour to help them in their dispute with the colony of New York over Staten Island. The manuscript bears the inscription 'Being the Proprietors 1682/3' meaning it must have been produced shortly after acquisition. Further study of the text places the earliest possible date as mid-May 1683. A plain version entitled A Sand Draught of New York Harbor by Philip Wells exists in the Penn Papers now in the Ayer Collection, Newberry Library. Wells laid out the city of Perth Amboy for the Proprietors by May 1683, and while serving as the Surveyor General for New York worked on the boundary dispute between that colony and Connecticut in 1684. Sometime around 1685 he became the Surveyor General for Governor Edmund Andros and composed a manuscript map of Boston harbour. Wells was described in the Minutes as 'one that's both capable and honest in that imploy [surveying], and lives on Staten Island near adjacent to us'. Indeed, his dwelling is noted on the printed map at the northern tip of Staten Island. Thornton in particular had worked with Penn before and it is most probably through the auspices of Penn that the work of Wells reached him.'The cartography of the main map is derived from two chief sources. First the Chesapeake Bay region is derived from Thornton's earlier map co-published with Robert Greene, c.1678, it being drawn from the Augustine Herrman, 1673[74]. The major area of alteration as expected is that of the new colony of Pennsylvania. Thornton was involved with the new colony quite closely, producing the key promotional map in 1681. It is this document that Thornton incorporates here, although it appears not without some difficulty. There are signs of erasure from the middle of the Delaware peninsula northwards into Pennsylvania. The Schuylkill River is reduced in length but Philadelphia is present as is the recently renamed Borlington. New England to appears to be derived from the Thornton and Gr.

In den WarenkorbNo binding. SEPARATELY PUBLISHED. 420 x 515 mm., in early outline colour, in very good condition. Rare separately published extremely decorative map. John Seller (c.1627-97) was born the son of Henry Sellers, a cord wayner, between 1627 and 1630 in Wapping, London. He was apprenticed to Edward Lowe who was presumably an instrume…nt maker as this was the profession chosen by Seller. He appears to have been a Baptist at a time when Nonconformists were not popular. Following the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660, there were understandably a number of treasonable plots against him. In 1662 six men were arrested in one such plot led by Thomas Tonge, amongst them was John Seller. The trial was held in the Old Bailey in December. The published details show that Seller was clearly not involved although he was a friend of one of the men and had been seen talking to another. In spite of the evidence he was convicted and sentenced. Seller and one James Hind escaped execution, the others being hanged on 22 December. Seller remained in Newgate Prison until the spring of 1663. He was granted release on bail and eventually granted a pardon. Seller's main income derived from instrument making and navigation, and he was even interested in their use. He wrote 'Praxis Nautica or Practical Navigation' in 1669, dealing with all aspects of navigation such as instruments, mathematics, almanacs and tables. It was an immediate success and was issued in numerous further editions. It was at this time he turned to publishing maps, at first specialising in sea charts for which he saw a domestic market. Expanding in to topographical maps he entered in to all sorts of projects but lacked the commercial ability to carry them through successfully. In the 'London Gazette' for November 1679 John Seller, along with John Oliver the surveyor and the engraver Richard Palmer, announced their intention to publish a folio English County atlas to be titled 'Atlas Anglicanus'. At the beginning of the following year they announced in the 'Term Catalogues' that maps of Middlesex, Surrey and Hertfordshire were available and that Kent was underway. Unfortunately only two more counties were produced, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The project languished until the partnership broke up in 1693 when the maps were sold to Philip Lea.Philip Lea would include them in some examples of his Christopher Saxton atlas entitled 'The Shires of England and Wales' available from c.1693. For this issue the imprint of Philip Lea is added along with 15 roads. A further state by Lea adds the eight coats of arms across the bottom, one of which is empty. The plate for Surrey along with others was acquired by Thomas and John Bowles. Roger Baynton-Williams produced a list of the known states published in a letter by Robin Marsh in 1994. According to that this is an example of the fourth state. Provenance: private English collection.

In den WarenkorbNo binding. 400 x 520 mm., early wash colour, cut close and laid down on paper possibly in the seventeenth century, very light offsetting otherwise in very good condition. Christopher Saxton's map of the county of Somerset is one of the earliest he produced. Only two were made in 1574 and according to Evans and Lawrence this was… most likely one of the last to be prepared in the year 1575. Progress was still slow at this stage, operating as he was without an official licence for support. It was engraved by Lenaert Terwoort (fl.1575-91), a native of Antwerp who contributed five maps to the work. His imprint is found lower left. He was one of several Dutch engravers of the work. Christopher Saxton (c.1542â"c.1610) produced one of the earliest national surveys of any kind and the first uniformly conceived cartographic survey of England and Wales. It was begun in about 1574 and completed by 1579: "in the long list of British atlases the first name is also the greatest, the name of Christopher Saxton" (Chubb). Saxton was born at Dunningley in the West Riding of Yorkshire. While the details of his early life are sketchy, it is known that he attended Cambridge University, and in 1570 he was apprenticed as a map maker to John Rudd, vicar of Dewsbury. Saxton began work on his county maps in about 1574. In 1577 he received letters patent from Elizabeth I protecting his maps against plagiarism for the next ten years. Evans and Lawrence wrote that he 'left a legacy of maps of the counties of England and Wales from which succeeding generations of map-makers drew extensively ⦠amazingly accurate in detail, [the atlas] survives as testimony to his expertise when surveying techniques and comprehension of the mathematical sciences were still limited.' They are arguably the most highly prized by collectors of county maps. Philip Lea flourished from 1683-1700 as a cartographer, globe and instrument maker and mapseller. His atlases were rarely uniform, usually being made to order and his editions of Saxton's atlas are similarly varying in content although built around his stock of the original plates. These he acquired sometime around 1689, but from whom is unknown.After acquisition of the Saxton plates Lea set about updating them for publication. This process involved extensive re-engraving of the old plates by incorporating new geographical and decorative material. However, during this process some copies of the atlas were sold and two distinct issues have been identified with two different versions of the title page. The early edition dated to c.1689 survives in just three known examples. This is an example of the early state without Lea's imprint. On the Somerset, Lea's first known state included the addition of roads following the publication of John Ogilby's landmark 'Britannia' in 1675. The date of 1665 engraved for the unpublished edition is here altered crudely to 1689.

In den WarenkorbNo binding. 515 x 560 mm., early outline colour, with minor water stain, printed on thick paper, with fold as issued, otherwise in good condition. Although the first plan of London dates to the sixteenth century, the first map of the environs of London was not engraved until that of John Ogilby by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1670. Only… two known examples survive of a later state by William Morgan dated 1683; in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle and in a private English collection. It was intended to accompany a multi volume atlas by Ogilby, but he died with only the road book 'Britannia' being published. Shortly afterwards two further maps were published extending 20 miles around. This map by Philip Lea (fl.1683-1700) was published c.1690 and is in the first state of three. It came from a William Berry atlas published at the same time. The map takes in the home counties and extends outwards to Hemel Hempstead, Hatfield, Chipping Ongar, Brentwood, Gravesend. Sevenoaks, Guildford, Chertsey, Uxbridge and Rickmansworth. The map is marked by squares of 3 miles and displays an extensive road network. The Explanation states that market towns are illustrated by a 'Round Roman Hand'. The county borders are marked by dotted lines as are the Hundreds. Degrees of longitude and latitude are in the margins along with letters and numbers for grid referencing.Examples are found in the British Library's copy of the Lea edition of Saxton's atlas, c.1693 and the Custis atlas at Colonial Williamsburg, one of only four composite world atlases known by Lea. It is also listed as a separate publication in Lea's catalogue of c.1698 with 'an Alphabetical Table for the easie finding any place in the Map'.

In den WarenkorbThe first plan of New York harbour First state. Double-page engraved map (450 by 550mm to the neatline, full margins showing the plate mark), with early hand-colour in outline (one or two pale stains). "In May 1685 John Thornton, Robert Morden and Philip Lea advertised for sale a multi-sheet map entitled 'A New Map of the Englis…h Empire in the Continent of America'. Although earlier multi-sheet maps of the Americas existed, namely the Augustine Herrman 1673[74], none survive that were of the entire English colonies in North America" (Burden). The only known example of their advertised map is held in the Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris. The multi-sheet map was designed in such a manner that allowed for some of the sheets to be issued separately, as in the present example: "This can be shown by the fact that the title runs in a narrow border along the top, so that when made up as a wall map it may be pasted or cut out. A main area of the debate is whether the map appears in an earlier state than that surviving today. It has been argued that the inset plan of New York harbor, and the scale and imprint cartouche below it, are later insertions, and that they do not appear on the state intended for the wall map. The author believes this is not the case as the scale is the only one on the finished wall map. The plan was inserted at a later stage of production merely because the information became available, and quite possibly because the Duke of York, the harbour's proprietor, was the newly crowned King. It was clearly a late insertion as a sand bar on the main map has been altered to match that in the inset. "The inset is the first printed chart of New York harbour, and superseded the efforts of John Seller in his map of New Jersey, c1675. Taliaferro identified the source as being a manuscript by Philip Wells. East New Jersey had been sold to William Penn and eleven other Quakers in February 1683. They requested that Wells produce a map of New York harbour to help them in their dispute with the colony of New York over stated Island. The manuscript bears the inscription 'Being the Proprietors 1682/3 meaning it must have been produced shortly after acquisition. Further study of the text places the earliest possible date as mid-May 1683. A plain version entitled "A San Draught of New York Harbour" by Philip Wells exists in the Penn Papers now in the Ayer Collection, Newberry Library. Wells laid out the city of Perth Amboy for the Proprietors by May 1683, and while serving as the Surveyor General for New York worked on the boundary dispute between that colony and Connecticut in 1684. Sometime around 1685 he became the Surveyor General for Governor Edmund Andros and composed a manuscript map of Boston harbour. Wells was described in the Minutes as 'one that's both capable and honest in that imploy [surveying], and lives on Stated Island near adjacent to us'. Indeed, his dwelling is noted on the printed map at the northern tip of Staten Island. Thornton in particular had worked with Penn before and it is most probably through the auspices of Penn that the work of Wells reached him. "The cartography of the main map is derived from two chief sources. First the Chesapeake Bay region is derived from Thornton's earlier map co-published with Robert Greene, c1678, it being drawn from the Augustine Herrman, 1673[74]. The major area of alteration as expected is that of the new colony of Pennsylvania. Thornton was involved with the new colony quite closely, producing the key promotional map in 1681. It is this document that Thornton incorporates here, although it appears not without some difficulty. There are signs of erasures from the middle of the Delaware peninsula northwards into Pennsylvania. The Schuylkill River is reduced in length but Philadelphia is present as is the recently renamed Borlington. New England too appears to be derived from the Thornton and Greene with a few minor alterations. The south coast of Long Island is much improved, di.

In den WarenkorbVery good. Few areas of reinforcement of oxidation. Size 18.75 x 22 Inches. This is a rare, important, separately issued 1688 English map of America, printed by Philip Lea and John Overton. It was first issued in 1684, explicitly as a rebuttal to French and Dutch maps and their representation of European spheres of influence in…North America. It is the first general map of America to name Philadelphia, and presents a boldly exaggerated depiction of 'The English Empire' in North America. A Closer Look The map presents the Western Hemisphere, from as far west as the Marianas (as mapped by the Spanish in the 16th century) and as far east as the coast of Spain, the Canaries, and the Cape Verde islands. In general form, the map appears to follow the Dutch, specifically the 1675 Novissima et Accuratissima Totius Americae Descriptio of Frederick de Wit. (The shape of the insular California, as well as the coastline and detail of South America, tends to support this as a starting point.) However, the eastern half of North America diverges sharply from any precursor map. From the vicinity of northern Florida up into the Canadian Maritimes, there are massive alterations. The innovations spurred by French exploration of the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes have been dispensed with, Hudson's Bay has been reduced in size, and what Great Lakes appear are in open-ended and schematic form. Instead, from Florida to the St. Lawrence, the eastern part of North America is dominated by what Lea terms 'The English Empire,' whose northern border hugs the St. Lawrence and whose northwestern limits are undefined. Rather than present a western border, Lea obscures that region with the British Royal Arms. On the north bank of the St. Lawrence is a meager Canada or New Franc (sic), hemmed in on the north by New Brittain, New North Wales, and New South Wales. The space thus afforded to England - at the expense of French territorial claims - allows Lea to lavish detail on the British Colonies in North America. Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, New England, and New Scotland are detailed. (Maryland, abbreviated MAR L, proves a typographic challenge.) Cities of New York, Boston, Kennebeck, New London, Albany, and (for the first time on a map of the Americas) Philadelphia are all detailed here. The North Parts of the World In the upper left corner of the engraving is a north-polar projection, suggesting a presumed open sea connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Beyond, the map reinforces the idea of the great size of 'The English Empire' in North America, versus a virtually invisible Canada. To look at this map and compare it with the dominant French maps of the period, it would surprise no one at all that the two powers would soon be at war over these same territories. Embellishments and Aids to the User The lower left of the map contains a handsomely engraved cartouche, surmounted with the British Royal Arms and flanked by native warriors. (Also, the text of this cartouche contains Lea's amended 'Atlas and Hercules in Cheapside' address, part of what distinguishes this as a second state). In the upper right, supported with putti and bearing the dedicatee's arms, is a dedication to Henry, the Duke of Beaufort. (The presence of the dedication suggests a publication no later than 1689: A favorite of King James II and a member of Charles II's Privy Council, he refused to swear allegiance to William of Orange and fell out of favor.) A probable distinguishing factor between the first and second states of this map are the letter coordinates set in the border of the map and the lettered medallions appearing about the map itself. These were keyed to passages in the booklet Alphabet of America , which this map accompanied in 1688 but which had not been published before 1687. It is unlikely that these features would have been added without the associated text. (Although since no surviving copies of the 1684 state can be scrutinized, we.
