Acquaforte, dimensioni 505x610 mm. Bellissimo esemplare, finemente colorato a mano.Opera tratta da: Atlas maritimus & commercialis, or, A general view of the world, so far as relates to trade and navigation: describing all the coasts, ports, harbours, and noted rivers ... : to which are added sailing directions for all the known coasts and islands on the globe, with a set of sea charts, some laid down after Mercator, but the greater part according to a new globular projection adapted for measuring distances...by scale and compass...the use of the projection justified by Dr. Halley. To which are subjoin'd two large hemispheres on the plane of the equinoctial containing all the stars in the Britannic catalogue: of great use to sailors for finding the latitude in the night. London: For J. & J. Knapton, W. & J. Innys [Etc.], 1728.Questo lavoro molto raro è nato dalla collaborazione di alcuni dei principali cartografi e scienziati del periodo, tra i quali Sir Edmund Halley, John Senex, Nathaniel Cutler, Steven Parker e Daniel Defoe. L’Atlas maritimus & commercialis venne ideato da Senex e Harris nel tentativo di competere con il popolarissimo The English Pilot di Mount & Page; tuttavia, nonostante la collaborazione fosse di altissimo livello scientifico, l’atlante non ebbe grande successo commerciale.

Acquaforte, 300x430 mm, firmata nel cartiglio con il titolo: By H. Moll Geographer.Carta nautica firmata da Hermann Moll, che si definisce “geografo” e, pertanto, potrebbe essere il compilatore, oltre che l’incisore, dell’opera. Esistono degli esemplari della carta che recano in basso l’imprint: Printed for The Bowles in S.t Pauls Church yard ar John Bowles ar the Black Horse in Cornhill; altri presentano, in alto a destra, la numerazione page 753. V1. In alto a sinistra, troviamo un piccolo cartiglio raffigurante Gibilterra, che era appena stata ceduta all’Inghilterra con il trattato di Utrecht del 1713. La carta non è inserita in nessuno dei numerosi atlanti di Moll descritti da Shirley.Herman Moll (1654 - 1732) fu uno dei più importanti editori dediti al commercio di mappe in Inghilterra tra la fine del XVII e l’inizio del XVIII secolo. Sembra probabile che provenisse dalla Germania, forse da Brema, e che fosse a Londra già nel 1678. Le poche notizie biografiche sono dedotte dalla produzione, notevole, di materiale cartografico, frutto dell’attività alla quale si dedicava - come uso all’epoca - in qualità di incisore, disegnatore o editore. Dalla sua morte, nel 1732, della casa editrice Moll non si hanno più tracce; suo figlio Gilles Hendrick scomparve, infatti, prematuramente mentre la figlia Henderina Amelia Moll, è poco più che un nome testamentario. Le prime notizie di Moll sono relative al 1678 dove, come incisore, lavora per l’English Atlas di Moses Pitt e Sir Robert Hooke, uno dei sostenitori del progetto. Gran parte della sua carriera fu dedicata all’attività di incisore per produttori di mappe e editori, in particolare per James Knapton, realizzando le mappe per i resoconti di viaggio. Nel 1707 Moll iniziò a lavorare alla sua pubblicazione più famosa, il The World Described, una raccolta di mappe del mondo. Fu uno dei più famosi atlanti inglesi del XVIII secolo e richiese un lungo periodo di lavorazione; l’atlante fu completato solo nel 1717. Moll usava riempire gli spazi vuoti delle sue mappe con pannelli di testo, spesso con descrizione della regione raffigurata; altre volte, invece, con commenti poco lusinghieri sui rivali: gli inglesi Jeremiah Seller e Charles Price, John Senex e in particolare il francese Guillaume Delisle. Herman Moll fu coinvolto in numerose pubblicazioni: il Thesaurus Geographicus (1695), ripubblicato in seguito con diverse altre forme e ampliato per formare l’Atlas Geographus (1711) il Twenty Four New and Accurate Maps of the Several Parts of Europe (1706) e A New Description of England and Wales (1724). Nel suo testamento, non si fa menzione di uno stock di lastre da stampa o altri beni aziendali. È probabile che gran parte del materiale a cui il suo nome è legato fosse posseduto e finanziato da altri editori.Bibliografia: cfr.

Moll Geographer.Nautical chart by Hermann Moll, who calls himself a "geographer" and, therefore, could be the compiler, as well as the engraver, of the work. There are copies of the map that bear the imprint below: Printed for The Bowles in St. Pauls Church yard in John Bowles in the Black Horse in Cornhill; others present, at the top right, page number 753. V1. At the top left, we find a small cartouche depicting Gibraltar, which had just been given to England with the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713. The map is not inserted in any of the numerous Moll atlases described by Shirley.Herman Moll (1654 - 1732) was one of the most important publishers dedicated to the trade of maps in England between the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century. It seems likely that it came from Germany, perhaps from Bremen, and that it was in London as early as 1678. The few biographical information is deduced from the remarkable production of cartographic material, the result of the activity to which he dedicated himself - as was the custom at the time - as an engraver, draftsman or publisher.

Acquaforte, stampata su due fogli di carta poi uniti, dimensioni 470x1170 mm.Doppio imprint editoriale in basso, in entrambi i fogli: Sold by Will.m Mount & Tho.s Page on Tower Hill London. Nel cartiglio con il titolo sono presenti diverse abrasioni, comprese le cifre della data 1730.Bell'esemplare, finemente colorato a mano, alcune ossidazioni in basso, nel complesso in buono stato di conservazione. Tavola nautica tratta da: The English pilot. Part III: Describing the Sea-coasts, Capes, Head-lands, Bays, Roads, Harbours, Rivers and Ports; together with the Soundings, Sands, Rocks and Dangers in the whole Mediterranean Sea, likewise the Courses and Distances from one Place to another. The Setting of the Tides and Currents. The Ebbing and Flowing of the Sea. The Bearing, Distance and Prospect of the Land, and how thwy shew themselves at Sea. Carefully corrected, with new Additions of several Ports, Harbours, Bays, and Prospects of Land, never before made Public, London, Printed for J. Mount, and T. Page.Grande carta nautica del Mar Mediterraneo, arricchita da cartigli contenenti piani nautici di Civitavecchia, Livorno, Nettuno e delle baie di Tunisi e Alessandretta. La carta è firmata da William Mount e Thomas II Page, rispettivamente figlio di Richard e Thomas I. Un esemplare della tavola, con la data 1730 è conservato in una raccolta di carte - senza titolo e data - di Charles Price nella collezione della British Library (Maps C.8.b.16, cfr. Shirley p. 1270, M.PRI-1a, 19). Charles Price finì in prigione (1731) per non aver onorato i propri debiti economici; probabile quindi che la lastra passò nelle mani della tipografia Mount & Page. La troviamo inclusa nel volume III del The English Pilot, curata dagli editori John Mount e Thomas II Page tra il 1730 ed il 1771 (cfr. Shirley, p. 1260, M.M&P-8°, 6). La data “1730” viene abrasa nelle tirature successive dell’opera. Il terzo volume dell’English Pilot, è noto in 19 diverse edizioni, a partire dal 1703 e fino al 1803. Basato sulle carte del Mediterraneo stampate da John Seller nel 1677, viene in seguito aggiornato da nuove e migliori carteBibliografia: cfr.
