No binding. Zustand: Fair. 590 x 925 mm., early outline colour, with secondary folds as issued to facilitate binding, some to lower right fold repair work and at the double folds, light brown to right fold otherwise in good condition. In 1715 Philip Overton published a rare two-sheet map of Oxfordshire. No other county followed until 1726 when in partnership with Thomas Bowles he published a reduction of the John Warburton, Joseph Bland and Payler Smyth survey of Middlesex and the neighbouring home counties of Essex and Hertfordshire undertaken 1721 to 1724. This had been published in the previous year 1725. It supplied a burgeoning market for more accurate maps than those of Christopher Saxton, John Norden, William Smith or John Speed which were now over a century old. Although the plate was extant until at least 1795 when it appeared in the catalogue of Bowles and Carver the fact that it was separately published accounts for the poor survival. It is mainly those examples preserved in composite atlases over the years which have survived. Despite covering three counties its size enables a good level of detail at half an inch to the mile. Upper left the map is adorned with a town plan of St. Alban's and upper right is a fine 'North Prospect of Colchester'. Provenance: private English collection since the 1970s. Hodson (1974) p. 227; Hodson (1984-97) I pp. 166-8; Rodger (1972) 118; Tooley Essex in 'The Map Collector' no. 36 p. 36 E22.…

No binding. Zustand: Very Good. Two sheets, 565 x 480 mm. each (565 x 960 mm. if joined), in superb full contemporary colour, in very good condition. The fashion for publishing larger format two-sheet maps began with Alxis-Hubert Jaillot in Paris in 1674. It was the English however, who took to the new format. William Berry quickly followed but it was at the turn of the century when it really gained momentum. Atlases by Herman Moll, John Senex, and George Willdey were published. In 1715 Philip Overton had the foresight to see the demand for larger scale maps of the English counties. The 'Post-Boy' for 26 February to 1 March 1714/15 carried an announcement for a two-sheet map of Oxfordshire. It was ten years later, and in partnership with Thomas Bowles that any further counties were issued. A reduction of John Warburton, Joseph Bland, and Payler Smyth's map of Essex, Middlesex, and Hertfordshire was published in 1726 by Overton and Bowles. This was followed by one of Sussex at about the same time which drew on Richard Budgen's map of 1724. This rare map of Yorkshire from 1728 is the only other county he published. It is a reduction of Warburton's extremely rare map of c.1720. This itself is very rare, when offered to the British Library in 1983 it was described as being unrecorded, indeed it is not recorded in Rodger's book of 'Large Scale County Maps of the British Isles'.Philip Overton (fl.1707-45) was the third son of the map and printseller John Overton (1640-1713). In 1707 his father set him up in business with £200 'toward his advancement and setting up a trade', independently from his older brother Henry Overton ((1676?-1751). In 1708 he was in partnership with John Bowles, Thomas Bowles, and others to publish the two-sheet maps of Herman Moll which were later published as 'The World Described'. He worked in partnership with several other publishers including, Christopher Browne Two further sums of £100 each were made in 1711. He died in 1745 and his widow Mary Overton continued the business for a short time before it was acquired by Robert Sayer in 1749.The fact that these maps were separately published accounts for the poor survival. It is mainly those examples preserved in composite atlases over the years which have survived. Provenance: Alex Jackson collection; private English collection since 2002. Armitage & Baynton-Williams (2012); Hodson (1984-97) I pp. 166-8; not in Rodger (1972) 116; Tooley's Dictionary (1999-2004); Worms & Baynton-Williams.…

Sussex - Rare separately issued map of Sussex Engraved map with outline hand colouring, on two sheets joined, loss to upper left corner skilfully supplied in facsimile. Rare separately issued map of Sussex. This large two sheet map is a reduction of Budgen's large-scale map of the county first published in 1724 - the first large-scale map of the county. A detailed key to the upper right provides information on market towns, disused habitations, Gentleman's Seats, manor of farm houses, castles, ruins abbeys, priorys etc., furnaces, forges, watermills, smiths forges, camps, heaths, mineral waters, stone quarries, woodland, commons, rocks, sands, boundaries of county, rapes, deanries, hundreds, navigable rivers, and 'parts abounding most with Oak Timber. To the sea around the Selsey peninsula are depicted shoals, rocks, and numerous soundings. Above the map are two fine prospects of Lewes from the south and Chichester from the north. Although not dated Kingsley in his comprehensive survey of maps of Sussex, date the work to around 1726, due to the fact that Philip Overton and Thomas Bowles published a map of Essex, Middlesex, and Hertfordshire in 1726, similar in size to the present map with the same style border. As with all separately issued maps Overton's map of Sussex is rare, with OCLC recording five institutional examples. Kingsley records a further example housed in the Bodleian. Scale: 1/2 to one mile.

Very 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.…
