89167Amsterdam Hubert Jaillot Chez Pierre Mortimer et Company. 1692. Copper-engraved map. Engraved surface 34 x 22 inches. Framed with glass and double dark-green and blue mounts. Overall 44 x 33 inches. In very good condition. Stunning large early map of America. Beautifully coloured states and islands with both cartouches and border also coloured. With vertical centre fold/crease. The map lines up in the middle but is slightly offset at top and bottom. A couple of very light minor spots around the main cartouche else map surface is lovely and bright and clean. No offsetting or darkening. A stunning map. With two decorative cartouches with scale. With later hand-colouring. Jaillot's oversized map of North America notable for the large island of California poised off the West Coast first published in 1674. Tooley notes rather critically: “Jaillot who succeeded to Sanson's business makes a rehash of his maps. California is copied from Sanson's map of 1656. The remainder of the map is based on that of 1669. Jaillot retains the 5 lakes with two open at their western ends. He shows New Sweden and New Amsterdam. Curiously he omits Montreal but does insert a few French Missions round the Great Lakes. Large handsome titlepiece with arms of the Dauphin natives and indigenous fauna.” The map was reissued many times and its “long life was to in part to the expense of production for it continued in use long after its geographical information became out of date.” Tooley 37 Plate 44; McLaughlin 55.

166216493Paris: chez l’Autheur 1662. SECOND EDITION. Complete with 17 double-page engraved maps hand-colored in outline. Contemporary mottled calf corner edges neatly repaired interior has some minor dampstaining mainly on text and on blank verso of maps last blank leaf torn on lower fore-edge. A contemporary signature on first blank leaf. Similar to L’Amerique this atlas of the continent of Asia was first printed in 1652 and reprinted here with a new title page. The maps are all dated 1652 with only one dated 1653 and do not include the address of Mariette. The atlas features maps of India Persia China Japan the Maldives Arabia and the Philippines among others. <br /> <br /> Just prior to publication of this series of works which also included atlases of Europe and Africa Sanson formed a partnership with Pierre Mariette an engraver and printseller. Pursuant to their contract Sanson drew the maps and Mariette engraved and printed them. Each maintained possession of half of the plates and they were allowed to exchange and/or buy from one another. Some bore the address of Sanson others Mariette. But Sanson allowed Mariette to store his plates and Mariette without prior agreement started placing his address on Sanson’s plates. In time a lawsuit which had been prosecuted was settled when both died and their respective sons took over the business.<br /> <br /> This atlas is a fine examples of French mapping by the foremost French cartographer of the seventeenth century. Sanson 1600-1667 “Geographe Ordinaire du Roi†to Louis XIII is considered the founder of French cartography and is generally acknowledged as the originator of the great age of French cartography. chez l’Autheur unknown

1652006683Paris: Chez l'Autheur 1652. First Edition. Full Calf. Very Good. 4to. 23.5 by 17.5 cm. Unpaginated 102 pages of text plus 2 pp. of ads 1 Royal privilege page. With 17 copper engraved maps all two page plates each with hand-colored of boundaries. Maps include one of the entire continent then of its various regions as then known plus island groups. Separate maps for China and Japan. Bound in contemporary calf. Condition: Rebacked with joints making this obvious. The original spine was re-mounted with some losses. Its blindstamped decoration of fans is discernible but somewhat vague. We think it is possible this decoration had some gilding or color originally but none survives. Still an interesting and unusual feature in our view. Calf dry and rubbed on spine and joints and edges rubbed. Light to moderate soiling in the margins of many pages and on a few pages the soiling invades inward beyond the margins and also in a few instances the marginal soiling is on the heavier side. There are a few archival tape repairs of small chips three on the title leaf one on the following leaf and after that wormhole edge damage was left untouched. That said the defect and repair isn't as glaring as it might sound. The edges elsewhere can have short spans of a chewed appearance. As a book generally we would consider this copy at best Good. As far as the maps go independent of the book we would regard them as Very Good. A few of the maps might individually fall short of such grading; on the other hand all the maps of this copy one can easily imagine someone enthusiastically framing even without an attempt to clean them up. Two bookplates -- one of the Marquis of Lothian the other the Newbattle Abbey Library. Chez l'Autheur unknown

Edition: First edition. Binding: Full contemporary calf expertly rebacked with spine in six compartments of raised bands and finely-gilt motifs morocco label on two edges speckled red. Notes: This atlas was dedicated to the Superintendent of Finances at the time Nicolas Fouquet. <br>Regarding a map of South and Central Africa published the year before which bears resemblance to this map of South Africa--‘Pays et Costes des Caffres’--in particular Norwich writes: “This map although a fine example of cartography is based on very little information; for example the desert-like coast of South West Africa is presented as a land rich in rivers. The fictitious states are given fictitious boundaries and the interior is marked with large cities such as Vigiti Magna and Monomotapa. This information led to subsequent exploration in search of these fabulous cities. Although the map is dated three years after the foundation of a settlement at the Cape by Jan van Riebeeck no mention is made of any European settlement anywhere in the south.†Size: 4to Illustration: Recent stencilled title.

He took early to caricature ridiculing his neighbours in Derbyshire; a folio of these drawings dated 1781 is in the Derby Local Studies Library among a sizable collection of his prints drawings and book illustrations. His caricatures having caused something of a local stir he persuaded his father to let him seek his fortune in London.<br /> <br /> "Apart from two caricature prints dated 1785 designed by Woodward and published by him from 28 Cary Street Lincoln's Inn London it was not until 1790 that he made an impact on the London scene. Thereafter his output was copious. The British Museum catalogues list 525 examples of his work from the next twenty years published by Holland Fores Ackermann and latterly Tegg all leading printsellers. These prints designed by Woodward are etched by others-Rowlandson who was his friend and drinking companion Isaac Cruikshank Roberts and Williams. Woodward's original drawings are vigorous. and his value lay in his humorous ideas.<br /> <br /> "Woodward.might have rivalled Hogarth. Certainly his collaboration with Rowlandson constituted a lively if frivolous commentary on the social scene. Dorothy George described him as 'original prolific varied humorous and good-humoured' and few students of the subject would dispute her conclusion that his death was 'a loss to caricature' George English Political Caricature 1.174" Simon Heneage 'Woodward George Murgatroyd 1760-1809 Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Oxford University Press 2004.<br /> <br /> Etcher and engraver Francis Sanson was active 1784-1799.<br /> <br /> Bobins IV 1365; Gordon Library BC28 BC29; Not in Abbey or Tooley.
