86034J. & J. Knapton W. & J. Innys London 1728. . Four engraved sea charts on one double-page map sheet.<br />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'.<br />The Atlas maritimus 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.<br />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 "authorized by 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 /> [J. & J. Knapton, W. & J. Innys, London, 1728]. unknown

Image measures 19 1/2" x 23 1/2".<br/> <br/> 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.

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.

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".
