Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 4to (30.5 cm), 100 pp. Publisher's cloth with dust jacket (minor shelf wear). Christopher Saxton was responsible for creating the first printed atlas of the English and Welsh counties, which, when published in 1579, was the first uniform national atlas ever produced for any country. The original set of…maps from which this edition is prepared is held in the Library of Chatsworth House, Derbyshire. Not only is it one of the finest hand-coloured examples to survive, but it is also one of only three known privately owned copies. The introduction by William Ravenhill explores the fascinating context in which the maps were created, as well as the methods and techniques used by Saxton to produce his masterpiece. (From the blurb).

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. The earliest printed map dedicated solely to the West Riding. Early seventeenth century. Engraving with contemporary hand-colouring on laid paper. Sheet size: 34.5 cm x 28.4 cm. A finely engraved and highly decorative early map of the West Riding of Yorkshire derived from the groundbreaking county… surveys of Christopher Saxton, widely regarded as the father of English cartography. The map was engraved by the Scottish engraver William Hole and forms part of the important early seventeenth-century tradition of reinterpreting Saxton's foundational surveys for a new generation of British atlases and geographical publications. Edition not evident. Blank verso. Impression shows signs of wear to the plate but does not have the added '48' plate number to the left hand corner. Date: c.1610-1637. A strong impression with contemporary or near-contemporary hand-colouring. Historic central fold as issued. General age toning, light surface wear, and minor handling marks consistent with age. The engraving remains sharp and well defined, with clear, legible place names and attractive colour. A well-preserved example of an important early Yorkshire county map.

Hardcover. 1st Edition. Folio (17 1/2 x 12 in.; 44.5 x 30.5 cm). Letterpress index (fourth setting with 4-line heading and 3 columns), double-page engraved plate of coats of arms (total of 84 with one left blank) and table of counties with contemporary full hand-coloring, 35 double-page engraved plates (Yorkshire folding), after… Saxton by Hogenberg, Lenaert Terwoort, Cornelis de Hooghe, Augustine Ryther, Francis Scatter, and Nicholas Reynolds, paper with the crossed sword watermark, maps of Northhamptonshire and Norfolk in the second state, 9 maps bearing Seckford's pre-1576 motto ("Pestis patriae pigricies") and 24 his later motto ("Industria naturam ornate"); extra-illustrated with 4 maps tipped in: Seller, "J. Buckinamiae comitatus vulgo Buckinghamshire" (London, 1733); Boazio, [Irlandiae accurata desciptio" London, 1599] (lefthand sheet only); Ortelius, "Eryn. Hiberniae Briannicae insulae" [Antwerp, 1584]; Ortelius, "Scotiae tabula" [Antwerp, c. 1582], all but 3 maps in FINE FULL CONTEMPORARY HAND-COLOR (Cornwall and additional map of Buckingham plain, Yorkshire in contemporary outline color). Lacking engraved frontispiece of patron and dedicatee Queen Elizabeth I, maps of Cornwall and Yorkshire replaced with maps from the Philip Lea edition of Saxton ca. 1689, some minor mostly marginal soiling, map of Norfolk browned, one or two early repairs to folds on verso. Contemporary limp vellum; stained, nearly detached, lacking leather ties. (64V1D) FIRST EDITION, THE MACCLESFIELD COPY WITH CONTEMPORARY HAND-COLORING OF THE MOST CELEBRATED AND EARLIEST ATLAS OF ENGLAND AND WALES. The index has been annotated in a late 16th-century hand to include the additional maps of Ireland and Scotland, and with the same hand annotating the map of Cheshire to show Macclesfield, the map of Lancaster to show Harrington Park (owned by ancestors of the Stanley family). Map making became increasingly prevalent during the reign of Elizabeth I due to advances in surveying techniques and copperplate engraving. At the same time, state officials began to realize the political and administrative advantages of accurate maps. Among them was Elizabeth's shrewd chief advisor, William Cecil, Lord Burghley, who relentlessly tracked politically volatile areas such as the Anglo-Scottish border. He was instrumental in ensuring that court official Thomas Seckford financed the first comprehensive survey of the counties of England and Wales. In turn, Seckford commissioned Saxton to undertake the task of producing an atlas of England and Wales. All the maps bear Seckford's arms in tandem with the Royal Arms (with the exception of Norfolk which lacks the latter), thus reflecting his deep involvement in this monumental enterprise. For his part, Burghley retained proofs of all the maps, which are now housed at the British Library. Widely considered the father of British cartography, Christopher Saxton grew up in Yorkshire and received his early training in surveying from the local vicar, John Rudd. Begun in 1574, Saxton's survey produced its first map (Norfolk) that year. All the maps are dated between 1574 and 1578, with the exception of Northumberland (undated) and Anglia (dated 1579 and probably the last to be completed). Dutch and Flemish engravers were employed to produce fifteen of the maps with additional contributions by skilled English artisans. The main geographical features on the maps include detailed depictions of rivers, streams, hills and mountains, parks, and woodlands. Woods are shown by small tree symbols, with clusters representing forests. Parklands are enclosed with ring fences while a small building with a spire represents a village. In consideration of the work and expense involved, Queen Elizabeth, to whom the atlas is dedicated, granted Saxton a license in 1577 for the exclusive publication of the maps for a period of ten years. An unparalleled commercial success, the atlas formed the basis of English regional mapping for more than a century, prompting attempts at si.

Hardcover. 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.

Original uncoloured engraved map of Bedfordshire trimmed to neatline and backed onto 18th century laid paper. Map dimensions 27.5 x 33 cm, overall backing-sheet size 32 x 40 cm. Rather soiled along right hand margin (mainly to backing-sheet), small tears to lower margin of backing sheet with old paper repair to verso, a bit unev…enly toned, small losses to lower right corner. An early decorative map of Bedfordshire engraved by William Kip based on the earlier maps by Elizabethan cartographer Christopher Saxton first published in the 1607 edition of William Camden's Britannia.* This example is from the first English edition of Camden's Britannia published in 1610, without any text on the verso. Embellished with compass rose and decorative cartouche. *Britannia, first published in 1586, was one of the most popular and influential books of the period. The work of the Elizabethan antiquarian, William Camden (1551-1623), it was a detailed historical and topographical description of Great Britain. Its patriotic sentiments, in particular, both appealed to and generated the growing sense of nationalism that was coursing through late Tudor / early Stuart society. Between 1607 and 1637, county maps engraved by William Kip and William Hole, and based largely on Saxton's surveys, were added. (Skelton, 6).

An early decorative map of West Riding of Yorkshire engraved by William Hole based on the… earlier maps by Elizabethan cartographer Christopher Saxton first published in the 1607 edition of William Camden's Britannia.* This example is from the first English edition of Camden's Britannia published in 1610, without any text on the verso. Embellished with compass rose, compass dividers, and decorative cartouche. *Britannia, first published in 1586, was one of the most popular and influential books of the period. The work of the Elizabethan antiquarian, William Camden (1551-1623), it was a detailed historical and topographical description of Great Britain. Its patriotic sentiments, in particular, both appealed to and generated the growing sense of nationalism that was coursing through late Tudor / early Stuart society. Between 1607 and 1637, county maps engraved by William Kip and William Hole, and based largely on Saxton's surveys, were added. (Skelton, 6).
