Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First. First edition. London: R. Sayer and J. Bennet, [1776]. Octavo in 4s (9" x 5 3/4", 227mm x 145mm). [Full collation available.] With 6 folding engraved maps outlined in color. Bound in contemporary marbled boards backed in modern morocco. On the spine, five raised bands. Title ("AMERICA/ POCKET/ AT…LAS") gilt to red sheep in the second panel. Modern backing, with renewed and repaired mounts (the text-leaves bound as singletons). Peripheral tanning, and some soiling. Splits, mostly repaired, to the maps, with some narrow losses near the folds. Offsetting and pigment oxidation throughout. Signs of removed bookplates from the front paste-down, with some offsetting to the first free end-paper. Graphite additions to the fifth map ("A General Map of the Southern British Colonies." in modern Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee). Sayer and Bennet succeeded the great English mapmaker Thomas Jefferys in providing official maps for the British military. The importance of the undated atlas is exemplified by a few words in the title: "those which now are, or probably may be The Theatre of War." This collection of six maps was calibrated to be accessible and useful to officers of whatever rank; so much did it become standard-issue that it came to be known as the holster atlas, finding its place in officers' saddles. The maps are: 1. North America, as divided amongst the European Powers. By Samuel Dunn, Mathematician. London: Robert Sayer, 10 Jan.y 1774. 2. A Compleat Map of the West Indies, Containing the coasts of Florida, Louisiana, New Spain, and Terra Firma: with all the Islands. By Samuel Dunn, Mathematician. London: Robert Sayer, 10 January 1774. 3. A General Map of the Northern British Colonies in America, which comprehends the Province of Quebec, the Government of Newfoundland, Nova-Scotia, New-England and New-York, from the Maps Published by the Admiralty and Board of Trade, Regulated by the Astronomic and Trigonometric Observations of Major Jolland, and Corrected from Governor Pownall's Late Map 1776. London: Robert Sayer and John Bennett, 14th August 1776. (McCorkle 776.11, first state) 4. A General Map of the Middle British Colonies, in America. containing Virginia, Maryland, the Delaware Counties, Pennsylania and New Jersey. With the addition of New York, and of the Greatest Part of New England, as also of the Bordering Parts of the Province of Quebec, improved from several Surveys made after the late War, and Corrected from Governor Pownall's Late Map 1776. London: Robert Sayer and John Bennett, 15th Oct.r 1776. 5. A General Map of the Southern British Colonies, in America. comprehending North and South Carolina, Georgia, East and West Florida, with the Neighbouring Indian Countries. From the Modern Surveys of Engineer de Brahm, Capt. Collet, Mouzon & Others ; and from the Large Hydrographical Survey of the Coasts of East and West Florida, By B. Romans, 1776. London: Robert Sayer and John Bennett, 15th Oct.r 1776. 6. A Survey of Lake Champlain, including Lake George, Crown Point and S.t John. Surveyed by Order of His Excellency Major-General S.r Jeffery Amherst, Knight of the Most Hon.ble Order of the Bath, Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Forces in North America, (now Lord Amherst) by William Brassier, Draughtsman. 1762. London: Robert Sayer and John Bennet, Aug.st 5th 1776. Second state (with the additional paragraph on the battle of Valcour Island, dated October the 11.th 1776). No bibliographer seems ever to have seen A1 (Streeter presumes it is the half-title). The previous marks of ownership have been fairly successfully removed, although a faint notation of "N 90(?)" at the upper edge of the front paste-down suggests that this was in a large collection. Indications of new precincts or counties southwest of South Carolina point to Southern ownership. Howes A 208, Sabin 1147; Schwartz & Ehrenberg, The Mapping of America p. 109; Streeter I:73.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. London: Printed and Sold by R. Sayer and J. Bennett, 1776. Folio (21 1/2" x 15 3/8", 540mm x 390mm ). 23 maps on 30 sheets (all folding or double-page except one single page) by Henry Mouzon, William Scull, Lewis Evans and others, handcolored in outline, letterpress title and index, map sheets numb…ered on versos with several misnumbered, maps hinged on guards. Bound in contemporary speckled calf, rebacked, endpapers renewed. On the spine, 6 raised bands, with author/title gilt to morocco in second panel, florettes in other panels. Extremities rubbed, hinges and tail of spine worn. Light browning and faint offsetting affecting six maps (The Banks of Newfoundland, no. 13; Lake Champlain, no. 18; Virginia and Maryland, no. 21; Florida, no. 25; Mississippi, no. 26; and South America, no. 29); minor dampstaining on bottom margins of title, index, and first 7 maps. Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771) was a British cartographer, engraver and publisher, known as "Geographer to the King "(George III). He produced some of the most accurate and detailed maps of North America and the Caribbean in the mid 18th century. This atlas provides a comprehensive record of the thirteen colonies during the Revolutionary War era and includes extensive reconnaissance mapping of French Canada, including Newfoundland. After Jefferys death, Sayer and Bennett came to own his copyright and, doubtless, his plates. In 1775 they issued the first collection of his maps in addition to others', doubtless in response to the commencement of hostilities in April of that year. As tensions rose, demand -- from American and British officers, crucially -- rose with it, not only for the original maps but to more detailed and precise maps of crucial battlegrounds. The 1776 edition is the great setting of the stage for the War of Independence, the preparation of the board on which the game would be played. Provenance: Ingilby (contemporary ownership inscription on title-page) and Dillon/Dunwalke Library (bookplate and shelfmark) Sotheby's New York, 15 June 2006, lot 204 (undesignated consignor). The Clarence Dillon Public Library in Bedminster, NJ, was originally the Crossroads Public Library and was renamed in 1979 after the Clarence and Anne Dillon Dunwalke Trust paid off its mortgage. Howes J-81; Phillips 1166; Sabin 35956.

Additional engraved double-page title, letterpress title-page, 25 charts on guards (2 folding, 21 double-page, and 2 full-page).

Chip to label, extremities and hinges worn. Some guards renewed, inner blank margin of title-page renewed, folding maps lightly worn in folds, one with a small closed tear at a fold and a repaired tear in the fore-margin. Occasional smudges, foxing and tanning. Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771) was a British cartographer, engraver and publisher, known as "Geographer to the King "(George III). He produced some of the most accurate and detailed maps of North America and the Caribbean in the mid 18th century. This is an extremely rare early edition of Jefferys masterful charts of the Caribbean. It was produced during a time of great naval and colonial expansion. Early editions area very rare. According to Sotheby's, only two copes have sold in the past fifty years. Jefferys' first work on the Caribbean, The West-India Atlas, was published in 1775 as a companion to his American Atlas. Following its publication, Sayer and Bennett produced the present work, which contains only the charts from the Atlas. Sabin 35956.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Second. Second edition, expanded. London: Printed by R. Sayer and J. Bennett, 1776. Folio (21 11/16" x 15 3/4", 550mm x 402mm): [pi]-2[pi]^1 (title, blank, index, blank). With 30 engraved hand-outlined (some colored) plates (comprising 23 maps), of which 29 are folding and 1 is single. Bound in mod…ern half calf over marbled boards. On the spine, six raised bands. Title gilt to red morocco in the second panel. Restored by James and Stuart Brockman (2021, full report available). Some tanning to the peripheries of the plates. Maps numbered on verso in early ink (stamps?). Else fine. Thomas Jefferys (1719-1771) was geographer first to the Prince of Wales and then, upon his accession, to George III. From the 1750's he had been issuing maps of the Americas, which, because of the Prince of Wales's patronage, benefitted from the most up-to-date surveys. After his death, Sayer and Bennett came to own his copyright and, doubtless, his plates. In 1775 they issued the first collection of his maps in addition to others', doubtless in response to the commencement of hostilities in April of that year. As tensions rose, demand -- from American and British officers, crucially -- rose with it, not only for the original maps but to more detailed and precise maps of crucial battlegrounds. The 1776 edition is the great setting of the stage for the War of Independence, the preparation of the board on which the game would be played. It is telling which maps were updated: 8, "A map of the british empire in North America" is now "improved from the surveys of capt. Carver"; 17 (orig. 18) "The provinces of New York and New Jersey, with part of Pensilvania" is now "improved from the original materials by govern. Pownall"; and generally more focus on the regions flanking the modern U.S.-Canada border, as with the addition of map 18: "A survey of lake Champlain, including lake George, Crown point and St. John. . ." Collation of this sort is a concrete and underexploited way of tracking shifting British strategy. Harley-Petchenik-Towner Mapping the American Revolutionary War pp. 85-7, Howes J81, Phillips 1166, Sabin 35953.

Titlepage, 2pp. dedication to "Gov. Pownall," 2pp. "Advertisement," 1p. "List of maps"; and six folding engraved maps, all hand-colored in outline. The "Holster Atlas" was issued at the suggestion of Gov. George Pownall and included the "maps that the British high command regarded as providing essential topographical information… in the most convenient form" (Schwartz & Ehrenberg). This collection of maps was published by Sayer and Bennet at the beginning of the Revolution for the use of British officers. "Surveys and Topographical Charts being fit only for a Library, such maps as an Officer may take with him into the Field have been much wanted. The following Collection forms a Portable Atlas of North America, calculated in its Bulk and Price to suit the Pockets of Officers of all Ranks" (Advertisement). Although the publishers claimed the atlas would fit into an officer's pocket, it was more usually carried in a holster and thus gained its nickname. The six maps are as follows: 1) Dunn, Samuel: North America, as divided amongst the European Powers. London: printed for Robt. Sayer, Jan. 10, 1774. Engraved map, handcolored in outline, 13¾ x 19 inches. 2) Dunn, Samuel A Compleat Map of the West Indies, containing the coasts of Florida, Louisiana, New Spain and Terra Firma: with all the islands. London: Robt. Sayer, Jan. 10, 1774. Engraved map, handcolored in outline (14 x 19 inches). 3) A General Map of the Northern British Colonbies in America.

Also issued as the first separately published map of Lake Champlain, this excellent detailed chart was based on a survey made during the French and Indian War, but not published until the Revolution. The map was issued in two states and is included here in its appropriate (and preferred) second state, illustrating the very first battle fought by the U.S. Navy: the Battle of Valcour Island, which transpired near present-day Plattsburgh, New York. Also included is an inset illustrating America's first naval battle, in which General Benedict Arnold, though forced back down the lake, was able to delay the British attempt to descend to the Hudson for that year.

Single sheet (20 ½ x 27 inches) This map is considered one of the most important maps of the British colonies done prior to Independence. Lewis Evans' map shows the East coast of North America from Montreal and New England to the Northern border of North Carolina. It also includes the Ohio Valley in the West. It shows areas of N…ew Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Connecticut. The map also includes a sketch of the upper parts of Canada on the upper left hand side. Evans' map of the Middle British Colonies appeared in 1755, the same year in which John Mitchell published his famous "Mitchell Map". Evans drew from his own original surveys, however he also used surveys attributed to Fry and Jefferson's map of Virginia (1753). Evans' map acknowledges French claims to all lands northwest of St. Lawrence Fort, resulting in criticism from New York. Despite the controversy, Evans's work was influential (there were eighteen editions and piracies issued between 1755 and 1814), and was famously used by General Braddock during the French and Indian War. "By 1758 Kitchin's plate seems to have passed into the possession of Thomas Jefferys, the famous map publisher of Charing Cross, for in that year we find the map re-issued with exactly the same title as Kitchin's but with an alteration in the imprint . Very little difference is to be observed between the issues of 1756 and 1758, but a number of new Forts on the back settlements are added in the latter . Fort du Quesne, which was marked simply F. du Quesne' in the 1756 plate, is now lettered 'Ft. du Quesne Destroy'd 1758 now called Pittsburg'" (Stevens). This correction to this issue makes this map the earliest map to name Pittsburgh. A rare issue of a desirable map of colonial America. Lewis Evans was a Welsh surveyor and geographer, working predominantly in British America. He travelled to the British Colonies in the mid-18th century; where he began his work for his later published maps. Evans was a frequent name in social circles; supported by great names such as Thomas Pownell, Benjamin Franklin, and General Edward Braddock.

Four engraved map sheets joined (overall sheet size: 32 4/8 x 49 4/8 inches; 30 2/8 x 48 4/8 inches to the neat line; framed 38 x 56 inches). Fine engraved map of Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson in 1775; with original hand-colour in outline by state, the title wi…thin a fine rococo cartouche with historically important vignette of a dockside tobacco trading scene lower right, with a dedication below the cartouche: "To the Right Honourable, George Dunk Earl of Halifax First Lord Commissioner; and to the Rest of the Right Honourable and Honourable Commissioners, for Trade and Plantations. This Map is most humbly Inscribed to their Lordships, By their Lordship's Most Obedient & most devoted humble Servt. Thos. Jefferys", distances and directions upper left derived by J. Dalrymple in 1755, survey lines are noted and explained, large compass rose centre right (some restoration to margins and other small losses). The Fry - Jefferson map of the broad area known as Virginia is the fundamental cartographic document of the region from the 18th century. The first map to focus on Virginia was Captain John Smith's of 1612, but after that early and primitive attempt to delineate the area, no exhaustive study was made for over a century. This basic lack was first confronted by the team of Peter Jefferson -- also known as the father of Thomas Jefferson -- and Joshua Fry. The two men were commissioned by the Virginia legislature after a 1751 mandate, issued by the English Lords of Trade, required each colony to produce an adequate survey of the region. Fry's expertise as master of mathematics at William and Mary, and Jefferson's as a surveyor, earned them the honor of being selected to compile the Virginia map. The result of the ambitious collaboration between the two men was the most accurate, comprehensive, and complete project in the history of Virginia mapping. The Fry - Jefferson map was the first to delineate the interior regions of Virginia beyond the Tidewater, and included all the major plantations along Virginia's rivers by family name. It was the first printed map to depict the valleys of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain ranges of the western interior, and to show the complete Virginia river system. The striking cartouche at the lower right is one of the earliest surviving pictorial representations of the Virginia tobacco trade, and a testament to the fact that Fry and Jefferson ensured the same quality in the map's artwork as in its cartography. Historically, this is the most valuable and influential early map of Virginia. This particular example was included in Thomas Jefferys' "American Atlas," published in London in 1776 (though the map itself bears the date of 1775). Verner State 7.
