Small signs of age and wear to the binding including slight crackling and nicks to the spine folding map with faint dampstain to tail margin two negligible ink spots to blank area on the map of the Irish Sea but A VERY APPEALING COPY quite clean and remarkably fresh internally and in an entirely solid period binding.<br/> <br/> This is the second corrected edition of the first comprehensive road atlas of Ireland offered here in especially attractive condition. In response to increasing demand for accurate maps of the country's road system the Irish House of Commons commissioned George Taylor and Andrew Skinner who together had previously produced the first road atlas of Scotland among other works to undertake a survey of the land. Taylor and Skinner completed their work in 1777 and published the first edition of their findings in 1778. This second edition includes updates to the year 1783 as well as an additional map no. 289. Renowned for their precision and detail Taylor and Skinner's maps clearly show roads crossroads and bridges as well as topographical features such as hills lakes and rivers including the direction of the water flow; landmarks such as castles churches and ruins; and the names of local landlords and their homes. The maps appear either as half-page strips or in full-page and the distances are given in both Irish and English miles 11 Irish miles being equal to 14 British miles. The robust list of subscribers which includes a number of earls viscounts lords bishops and British and Irish army men demonstrates the great need for and widespread success of this important work. Our former owner may well be the famed and controversial naturalist Joseph Sabine 1770-1837 who often signed his name as "Jos. Sabine" as seen here. He certainly had good reason to own maps of Ireland. He was from an Anglo-Irish family himself and was Honorary Secretary of the Horticultural Society a position which at the time carried great clout in the botanical community and one that presupposed knowledge of geography across the realm. DNB tells us that "Sabine played a leading part in the establishment of the society's garden first at Hammersmith and afterwards at Chiswick; in sending out David Douglas and others as collectors; in starting local societies in connection with the Horticultural Society; and in growing and distributing new and improved varieties of flowers fruits and vegetables throughout the country." While not a rare book this is the kind of volume that would have normally encountered frequent and inevitably damaging use so to find a copy as well preserved as this one is a lucky occurrence.

Bristol and ESTC record a presumed Philadelphia printing of this same broadside which was found bound in the New York Historical Society's copy of Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette for 1735-6 -- but ESTC does not record this Dublin printing of 1735.

Fine/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> THE BOOK THAT SET THE STAGE FOR A SCANDAL.<br /> A stunning Gift Quality first edition of Samuel Ireland's topographical tour of the River Avon. <br /> <br /> While primarily celebrated for its 29 exquisite sepia aquatint plates this volume holds a notorious place in literary history. It was during the research for this book in Stratford-upon-Avon that Ireland's son William Henry began discovering the forged Shakespearean manuscripts that would eventually lead to one of the greatest literary frauds in history.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Binding: Newly rebound in Full Burgundy Leather with elegant gilt-tooled double fillet borders and floral-decorated spine bands; black leather title label.<br /> Illustrations: Complete with an aquatint extra-title 29 full-page aquatint plates 2 portraits a folding map of the Avon's course and various in-text woodcuts.<br /> The Spicy Narrative: Includes Ireland's unvarnished observations of 18th-century life including a local brothel and a village where "favors" were famously traded for gingerbread.<br /> Literary Connection: Features early depictions of Shakespearean landmarks like New Place and Ann Hathaway's Cottage as they appeared in the 1790s.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Fine Rebound -- A spectacular copy. The leather is supple and flawless. The text block is lightly toned with only minimal offset from the plates. New endpapers. All plates are present and bright despite a minor 18th-century printer's error in the placement of two plates p. 243 and p. 250. Gift Quality. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> Samuel Ireland was a weaver-turned-engraver who became obsessed with Shakespeare. This work is a primary record of the "Stratfordian" industry in its infancy. Ireland is best remembered today as the tragic dupe of his son's forgeries; he died defending the authenticity of the Shakespeare papers his son had actually forged in their home. This volume represents Ireland at the height of his career before the scandal broke his reputation and his spirit.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: 18th Century Travel British Topography Shakespeareana Aquatints Literary Forgery River Avon Samuel Ireland Fine Bindings Illustrated Books.
