An English opera enthusiast and amateur composer, "Mount Edgcumbe recorded his experiences in Musical Reminiscences of an Old Amateur Chiefly Respecting the Italian Opera in England for Fifty Years, from 1773 to 1823 (London, 1824). Subsequent editions extended the period under discussion . Frequently his own eye-witness account, the Reminiscences are a valuable complement to contemporary British writings such as those of Charles Burney and William Parke . His vivid descriptions of the leading singers of the age, several of whom he knew personally, shed light on matters such as the allocation of roles . He blamed Rossini's works for undermining the golden age of opera, lamenting the popularity of pezzi concertati, the neglect of Metastasian conventions, and changes in vocal styles."

No binding. Zustand: Fair. 455 x 575 mm., with recent outline and wash colour, with extended margins and wormhole repair lower centrefold, otherwise in good condition. A large-scale sea chart of the southern portion of South America below 15 degrees south latitude. This records San Salvador on the Brazilian coast and Lima on the west coast. It extends southwards to record Tierra del Fuego. The only internal detail delineated is the region from Lake Titicaca to the silver mountain of Potosi. Richard Mount (1654-1722) was apprenticed to William Fisher and married his daughter Sarah in 1682. Two years later Fisher and Mount formed a partnership. Their early sea atlas publications like their competitors were similarly entitled and included the 'Atlas Maritimus'. Mount's own apprentice Thomas Page (fl.1700-d.1733) joined him in 1698. One of their earliest publications is the 'Atlas Maritimus Novus' in 1702 published in a further edition in 1708. Only two examples of the first edition can be traced: the Library of Congress and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. That first edition contained this new chart. It has not been identified in any edition of the Fourth Part of the English Pilot which was devoted to America making this an extremely rare chart. Richard Mount was born in 1654 and died 29 June 1722 after being kicked in the leg by a cart horse on London Bridge. The firm of Mount and Page continued for over a century publishing sea charts. The British Prime Minister David Cameron is a direct descendant of the Mount family. Provenance: Jonathan Potter 2000; Juan and Peggy Rada Collection.

No binding. Zustand: Very Good. 435 x 520 mm., in recent wash colour and good condition. This is the much rarer and earlier of two charts of the Harbour of Cork published by the firm Mount and Page. It was replaced at the latest by another in 1729. This particular sea chart was first published by William Mount and Thomas Page from at least 1701 in the 'English Pilot First Part, Southern Navigation'. It focuses entirely on the city of Cork and its approaches. There is unusually for a sea chart, extensive topographical detail including numerous roads and outlying villages. The main road (E30) from Cork to 'Midleton' is clearly depicted. There are extensive soundings in many harbours and inlets. Sanderson (1971) 423 no. 76;Shirley (2004) M.M&P 1a no. 18.…

No binding. Zustand: Good. 455 x 570 mm., in recent outline and wash colour, light surface marks upper left, otherwise in good condition. A sea chart of the Channel Islands and adjacent French coast from Cherbourg to Coutances. It is published by Richard Mount and Thomas Page and derived from that in the 'Neptune Francais' published in Paris in 1693. It marked a significant moment in improved coastal cartography. This English version was first published in 1701 in 'The Sea Coasts of France ?Describ'd in Fifteen Large Charts, Surveyed and Printed by Order of the French King'. Number '4' in the atlas, engraved lower right, the chart focuses more on the Channel Islands omitting some of the French coastline and is rotated 180º to offer a perspective from England. Further editions of the atlas appeared c.1715 and 1737. The chart was also included in some, but not all, examples of the 'Atlas Maritimus Novus' first published the following year 1702. The same was the case in the ensuing editions of 1708, c.1715, 1721, 1750, and 1755. Indeed, it may not even have been available at these later dates as I have been unable to identify any later than 1702 to possess it.

No binding. Zustand: Good. 440 x 525 mm., in fine recent wash colour, small area of loss to right margin, otherwise in good condition. The first state of this sea chart of the Algarve in south Portugal and a portion of southern Spain. It was published by Richard Mount whose imprint appears alone in the title. A later state would bear the imprint of William Mount and Thomas Page. It was published in the 'English Pilot First Part, Southern Navigation'. Two compass roses adorning the map illustrate the maps orientation slightly with north to the left of the top. The chart extends from Cape St. Vincent in Portugal to the Straights of Gibraltar. The main cities of Faro and Cadiz are both clearly identified as are the numerous salt pans in the region. Not in Conde (2003); Sanderson (1971) NMM 423 no. 81; Shirley (2004) M.M&P 1a no. 26.…
