1728269980London: James and John Knapton 1728. unbound. Sea Chart. Uncolored engraving. Sheet measures 25.5" x 30".<br/><br/> This stunning map of the western hemisphere depicts North America and South America presented on Edward Wright's projection also called a globular projection. It extends from the Hudson Bay south to Terra del Fuego with the oceans featuring rhumb lines to facilitate navigation. The map focuses more on the coastlines rather than the interiors. New Zealand appears in its embryonic form with partial coastline shown. Perhaps the most notable feature is the mapping of California as an island and the unmapped northwest coast of North America.<br><br>Insular California was first mentioned in the early 16th century. Although contrary evidence from various explorers was available by the 17th century that California was in fact a peninsula cartographers remained divided on the subject and California continued to appear on maps as an island.<br><br> This chart was made for the 1728 issued of "Atlas maritimus & commercialis or A general view of the world so far as relates to trade and navigation". The atlas which was meant to compete with Mount and Page's popular "English Pilot" was a collaboration between some of the leading cartographers of the time including Sir Edmund Halley John Senex Nathaniel Cutler Steven Parker and Daniel Defoe. The atlas unfortunately failed to achieve commercial success as great as its rival making this a hard-to-find map.<br><br>The map is in good condition with minor wear along the original folds and overall toning. Some toning over joint. Original plate mark is visible.<br><br>John Senex 1678-1740 was a kind of Renaissance man of the 18th-century map world working at times as a scholar surveyor engraver astrologer book seller and publisher of maps atlases and globes. In a short period he developed from an apprentice into one of the most important cartographers of the period and became a Fellow of the Royal Society of London as well as Official Geographer to Queen Anne of Great Britain. Although well regarded for his pocket-size maps Senex is probably best known for his globes which display a knowledge of astronomy equal to the skill of their craftsmanship. After his death in 1740 his wife Mary continued his business and continued to produce and sell cartographic works of high quality. Together their work represents a successful and valuable partnership in 18th-century mapmaking and publishing.<br><br> Sir Edmond Halley 1656--1742 was an English astronomer geophysicist mathematician meteorologist and physicist known for computing the orbit of the eponymous Halley's Comet. He was the second Astronomer Royal in Britain after John Flamsteed. Globular Projection maps were invented by Halley Harris and Senex. This is a wonderful example of their collaborative work.<br/><br/> James and John Knapton unknown books
86033London J. & J. Knapton W. & J. Innys 1728. . Six engraved sea charts on one double-page map sheet. Good condition. Dimensions: 50 x 61 cm.<br /> Published in the 'Atlas maritimus & commercialis: or a General View of the World so far as Relates to Trade & Navigation'. The Atlas maritius can be used as an index of English trading activity at this period since detailed insets and harbour plans emphasise those areas of greatest commercial significance. Although the author of the text is anonymous Daniel Defoe is thought to have contributed to it and Halley the Astronomer-Royal added a prefatory note discussing the use of the charts; it is therefore sometimes catalogued under his name. It has also been attributed to Harris Senex and Wilson those name appears on one chart. Senex was certainly responsible for one of the atlas's innovations the globular chart of Western Europe whose projection according to the title-page was "authorizedby letters patent".<br />The atlas was purely commercial and was not a real rival to the 'English Pilot': unlike the Pilot it compressed global coverage into one book as well as describing the the south and west coast of America omitted by the former.<br /> London, [J. & J. Knapton, W. & J. Innys, 1728]. unknown
