162621921<p>London: Are to be sold by Thomas Bassett in Fleet Street & Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Churchyard 1626 but 1676. 415 by 540mm. 16.25 by 21.25 inches. Speed's map of Spain Double-page engraved map with hand-colour some wear to edges. A map of Spain from the 1676 edition of the first atlas compiled and published by an Englishman Speed's 'Prospect'. A decorative border along the top illustrates views of major cities including Granada and Barcelona and along each side there are depictions of figures in regional costume. The Balearics appear marked as the 'Pyne Ilands'. Accompanying text in English 'The Description of Spain' is printed on the reverse. John Speed 1552-1629 was the outstanding cartographer of his age. By trade a merchant tailor but by proclivity a historian it was the patronage of Sir Fulke Greville poet and statesman that allowed him to pursue this interest in earnest. His 'Theatre of Great Britain' first published in 1611 or 1612 was the first large-scale printed atlas of the British Isles. The 'Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World' from which the present work is drawn appeared in 1627 bound with the 'Theatre' and is the first world atlas compiled by an Englishman to be published in England. Engraved in Amsterdam many of the maps are anglicized versions of works by Dutch makers in distinctive carte-à-figure style featuring borders with figures in local costume and city views. This map is from the 1676 edition of the 'Prospect' published by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell. While not as rare as the earlier publications this edition is perhaps the most important given that it is the first to include the nine new maps: among them Virginia and Maryland Barbados and Russia. It is also the last time that the 'Prospect' was printed as an atlas. Shirley Atlases T.SPE-2f.</p> Are to be sold by Thomas Bassett in Fleet Street & Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Churchyard,

His 'Theatre of Great Britain' from which the present work is drawn was first published in 1611 or 1612 and is 'the earliest English attempt at atlas-production on a grand scale' Skelton. Drawing heavily on the work of Saxton and Norden little of Speed's cartography is original he acknowledges 'I have put my sickle into other mens corne' instead it is his blend of cartography and history incorporating town-plans vignettes and genealogy that makes Speed an innovator. This map is from the 1676 edition of the 'Theatre' published by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell.

16651780London: to be sold by Roger Rea the Elder and younger at the Golden Crosse in Cornhill against the Exchange 1665. 410 by 550mm. 16.25 by 21.75 inches. Double-page engraved map upper left and right margins skilfully repaired margins reinforced with japan paper. The map bears the imprint of Roger Rea the Elder and Younger. The Reas had purchased the rights to Speed's work from William Garrett in 1659 who had previously purchased them from the widow of William Humble in the same year. Skelton suggests that the father and son intended a new edition of the atlas for the Restoration of 1660. However the atlas would appear not to have been published until 1665. This is borne out by an advertisement in the Term Catalogue by the subsequent owners of the plates Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell in 1675: "Mr John Speed's. Geography of the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland. together with his Prospect. all in one entire Volume hath been for seven Years past out of Print the greatest part of an Impression then newly Printed being destroyed by the late dreadful Fire 1666". This is borne out by the rarity of the Rea edition of the atlas. There is evidence that they planned an edition of 1666 as there are impressions of Sussex Buckingham and Derby with Rea's imprint which bear that date. Rea would later sell the plates to Bassett and Chiswell who would publish a new edition in 1676. to be sold by Roger Rea the Elder and younger at the Golden Crosse in Cornhill against the Exchange, unknown
