Original large-format map of the world on Mercator's projection (130 x 198 cm), engraved by John Dower and with fine original colour, sectionalised and laid onto two sections of linen as issued, each edged with green silk and measuring 130 x 99 cm, folding between publisher's original morocco covers (38 x 27 cm) with gilt foliate frame enclosing gilt title, marbled endpapers. Some very faint occasional foxing, upper cover with scratch mark to lower centre, overall a particularly fine example of this impressive map. Fine large format map of the world, which provides fantastic detail throughout, engraved by John Dower and published by Henry Teesdale. It is one of the few English maps to recognise the Republic of Texas (England itself did not), and depict its most ambitious boundaries. It is also the most complete map to show a complete northwest passage following the Deese-Simpson Expedition. Perhaps the most interesting part of the map is its treatment of the search for the Northwest Passage and the extensive annotations showing the routes of various discoverers throughout the world. With respect to the Northwest Passage, there are dozens of annotations identifying the British and other discoveries in the region, with section of text describing Arctic exploration up to 1833 and then additional notes on the map discussing discoveries up to October 1839, noting: "This Coast was Explored by Messrs. Dease and Simpson under the Honble. Hudson's Bay Company which completes the North West Passage Octr. 1839" Off the coast of Alaska, a number of different tracks of exploration are shown, up to Captain Beechey in 1826, with a further note in the interior further discussing P.W. Deawe and Thos. Simpson's expedition beginning at Fort Chipewyan June 1, 1837, traveling north to the Arctic Sea and then to Alaska. In the Southern Hemisphere, there are a number of early Antarctic discoveries shown. Teesdale was a London-based map publisher. He was an early Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, elected in 1830. Teesdale partnered with John Hordan and William Colling Hodson, but this arrangement dissolved in 1832. Afterward, he continued to work on his own and periodically with colleagues like John Crane Dower, Christopher Greenwood, Josiah Henshall and others. He published a variety of atlases and separately-issued maps. His business was quite successful, as he registered as a partner in the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1845.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Large folding engraved wall map two separate sheets (each 51 x 38 4/8 inches), each laid down on cartographic linen in 16 sections, with original hand-colour in full, showing the tracks of major explorers from Tasman to Briscoe, compass roses, a table of Explanation of bearings and distances, and a table of Distances, both lower right, edged in green silk (a bit browned at folds, some loss to edging). A fine large wall map showing the tracks of the major explorers to the mid 1830s, with other interesting and important events noted. British recognition of the Republic of Texas in November of 1840 is recorded, although James Hamilton was only able to agree three treaties with the British at this stage. These were related to commerce and navigation, a second provided for British mediation in the Texas-Mexico difficulties concerning peace, and a third called for the suppression of slave trade, and though signed in November 1840, because of various delays ratifications were not actually exchanged until July 28, 1842. The new boundary between the British Possessions in North America and the United States which was only decided as recently as April of 1842 with the signing of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty is recorded. "This treaty settled many long-standing issues between the United States and England that by 1842 had become acute. These included U.S.-Canadian boundary disputes; the 1837 burning by Canadians of a U.S. steamship, the Caroline, in the Niagara River, with the death of a crewman; the 1840 arrest in New York State of a Canadian, Alexander McLeod, accused of involvement in the Caroline affair; and the refusal of British authorities to return to the United States the African-American slaves who in 1841 had seized and diverted to the Bahamas a U.S. brig, the Creole, transporting them from Virginia to New Orleans.The Webster-Ashburton Treaty granted the United States nearly 60 percent of the disputed area in the Northeast, including a strategic military location at the top of Lake Champlain, along with a region west of Lake Superior, Minnesota's Mesabi Range, that later proved rich in iron ore. It also allowed Americans to turn westward and encouraged what proved to be an enduring Anglo-American rapprochement". Joseph W. Schmitz for Texas State Historical Association online.

Edward Stanford (1827-1904) was an English mapmaker and publisher, and the founder of a map and globe company that still flourishes today. After a brief partnership with T.W. Saunders as Saunders & Stanford from 1852-1853, Stanford established his own firm by 1854. Collaborating with his former partner Saunders, and the Edinburgh publishing family of A.K. Johnston, he grew to become one of the major map and atlas compilers of the 19th century, using maps acquired from the Society for the Diffusion of Knowledge, and later from John Arrowsmith among other sources. Many of his publications were for official bodies such as the Ordnance Survey, Admiralty, Geological Survey, Trigonometrical Survey of India, the Royal Geographical Society, the School Board of London, and many more. In the 1880s, his son Edward Jr. took over leadership of the firm. Stanfords still exists today in London and Bristol, and its collection of maps, globes, and maritime charts is considered the largest in the world.

Typographic etching, Sheet measures 19 3/4 x 28". Uncommon facsimile map issued by the Hakluyt Society, named after Richard Hakluyt (1552-1616), the influential English geographer and compiler of travel accounts. This map reproduces the Wright-Molyneux world chart, originally published in 1599 and derived from a 1592 globe by English globe maker Emeric Molyneux. The map first appeared in Edward Wrights seminal work, 'Certaine Errors in Navigation', which for the first time clearly articulated the mathematical foundations of the Mercator projection. Notably minimalist, the chart omits details for unexplored regions, leaving them blank. An early reference to the Great Lakes appears as Lake Tadouac. A decorative cartouche in the upper left bears the royal motto Dieu et mon droit 'God and my right' used by Queen Elizabeth I and later British monarchs (excluding those in Scotland). Curious details include the upside-down engraving of Estotiland, a legendary island from the apocryphal voyage of the Zeno brothers, and an early use of the name Canada, echoing its appearance on Forlani's 1560 Italian map. Condition: Even overall toning with light creasing; otherwise in very good condition. Provenance: from the collection of Polish artist Stanislaw Szukalski.

Seller and Price's extremely rare chart of the Southern Atlantic Engraved chart with original hand colour, heightened in gold. A chart of the South Atlantic, from Jeremiah Seller and Charles Price's extremely rare 'The English Neptune or, A New Sea Atlas.', published in 1704. The brief partnership of Price and Seller, survived until 1705, when the partnership went bankrupt (not for the first time in Price's life). One of the partnership's major publications was the 'English Neptune.'. Alas the atlas was clearly not a commercial success, as we are only aware of one institutional example (Yale University Library), which as well as the 13 charts by Price and Seller contains a further 16 charts by Herman Moll, and Thomas Mount and Richard Page. The presence of other cartographer's charts would suggest that the atlas was, most likely, formed after the partnership went bankrupt in 1705. Further weight to this argument is that when one looks at the only example appearing at auction, which contained 18 charts, 13 were by Seller and Price, and five by Herman Moll. Charles Price (1679-1733) was apprenticed to John Seller (1632-1697), the father of English sea atlas publishing, in February 1694. He was made free of the Merchant Taylors' Guild on 1 September 1703, on the same day as John Seller's son Jeremiah Seller. He worked in partnership with Jeremiah Seller (1700-1705), with John Senex (1705-1710), with George Wildey (1710-1713), and with instrument maker Benjamin Scott (1715-1718). In 1727, he announced that work would begin on "a general atlas for sea and land". In 1729, on his chart of the English Channel, he advertised for 'A Compleat Sea Atlas", which would cover the whole world and contain some 250 charts. Only 31 charts are known to have been published by Price before he was confined to the Fleet Prison for debt in December 1731. He continued to advertise his work at a reduced price "for ready money. ill fortune and ill usage has constrain'd me to sell my goods at this cheap rate". He died early in 1733, leaving his stock equally to his son Charles, his daughter Ann, and his wife Elizabeth. Individual charts from the atlas are particularly rare on the market. We are unaware of any example of the present map appearing at auction in the last 30 years. We have only been able to trace 1 institutional example: The Israel National Library.
