A Chart of the Coast of Brazil and Guiana in America: with Part of the Caribbe Islands

1728279748James and John Knapton 1728. First. unbound. Sea Chart. Colored engraving. Sheet measures 21 1/4" x 25". Image measures 19 1/2" x 23 1/2". This stunning map of the western hemisphere depicts Guiana and Brazil in South America presented on Edward Wright's projection also called a globular projection. It features rhumb lines to facilitate navigation. The map focuses more on the coastlines rather than the interiors. 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. 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. 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. 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.

A Correct Sea Chart of the Whole World According to Wright's Commonly Called Mercator's Projection

1728269980London: James and John Knapton 1728. unbound. Sea Chart. Uncolored engraving. Sheet measures 25.5" x 30". 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. 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. 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.
