1614655K5London: William Hall and John Beale 1614. Leather. Very Good. 16.5" by 11". Christoph Schweitzer. A very scarce edition of this highly historically significant work of British history written by an extremely influential historian and cartographer and offering a thorough exegesis of early British history from Julius Caesar to King James. A reissue of the 1611 first edition with imprint date altered as called for. ESTC Citation No. S122020. Folio. The work is very scarce with the 1614 reissue being a particularly scarce edition. Collated lacking errata leaf to the rear of the work and front and rear blank. Leaf 802 is misnumbered as leaf 801 as called for. Pagination is continuous from 'The Theatre of The Empire of Great Britaine' but the work is considered complete as a single volume. Contains the exceptionally scarce three leaves between pi 1 and Mm2 containing the author's preface. This is not present in the ESTC copy. Engraved title page has been trimmed and mounted with slight loss to fore edge. With an engraved title page and vignette engravings throughout by Christoph Schweitzer. John Speed is renowned for his work as both a leading English cartographer and historian and is considered one of the best known English mapmakers of the early modern period. Following encouragement from English antiquarian and historian William Camden Speed began this work published first in 1611 as the 'Historie of Great Britaine'. Many of the historical sources utilised for the work remain unknown although they do include the work of cartographers Christopher Saxton and John Norden. The work is considered a continuation of The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine first published between 1611 and 1612 within which is contained the first set of individual county maps of England and Wales. Speed himself considered his History of Great Britaine his major work the majority of which was funded by Sir Fulke Grevillean the Elizabethan poet dramatist and statesman. The work offers a highly detailed summary of Early English history and whilst the work has been criticised for a number of inaccuracies the subsequent frequent citations of the work in later historical pieces reflect its historical significance. Among others the work offers detailed information regarding the early successors and founders of English institutions including The Saxons Henry VIII and Edward IV. Written by one of the most influential historians and cartographers of the early modern period this extremely scarce 1614 edition of The History of Great Britaine is a sought after piece of significant historical and literary non fiction. Rebacked with the original contemporary calf boards preserved. Externally very smart with professional repair to the extremities. Slight rubbing and marking to the boards. Hinges slightly strained but firm. Evidence of bookplate removal to rear pastedown. Internally firmly bound. Engraved title page has been trimmed and mounted with slight loss to fore edge. Lacking front and rear blank and errata leaf to the rear of the work. The occasional light tidemark to the extremity of the occasional leaf. Handling marks and the occasional spot. The occasional contemporary ink annotations heavier to the final leaf. The occasional closed tear. Professional repair to leaf 5A2. Very Good William Hall and John Beale hardcover

This work continued Speed's 'Theatre of Great Britaine' - and the page numbering is continuous with it - the text starting at p155 and finishing at p 894 although the book is complete on its own.

The binding has been expertly repaired with some building up to one of the corners which had been lost. With new endpapers. The title page has been relaid on tissue. There is light nibbling to page edges up to the end of the preface but overall the paper is extremely thick and well-preserved. There is loss to the Faults page bottom corner and p 755 has a corner missing without loss of text. The pages vary from being completely clean to having spotting to having browning. There are occasional water stains to page margins - most usually the bottom margin - occasionally with a pinkish tinge at the page edge. A few pages have small repaired tears without loss.

1632M11092London: Petrus Kaerius caelavit George Humble c.1632 . Very Good. Notes: A set of 5 miniature maps of Ireland and its counties.<br>Pieter van den Keere Latin: Petrus Kaerius 1571 – c. 1646 was a Flemish engraver publisher and globe maker who worked for the most part of his career in England and the Dutch Republic.<br><br>Miniature Speeds<br>A series of 44 plates for the British Isles from about 1599 took a long time to publish. They were based on Christopher Saxton Ortelius and Giovanni Battista Boazio respectively for England and Wales Scotland and Ireland. They appeared in 1617 in a Latin edition of the Britannia of William Camden by Willem Blaeu. Later these plates came to William Humble or George Humble according to Royal Geographical Society fellow Carl Moreland and David Bannister—map dealer—in "Antique Maps" who issued them with some modification and expansion in 1627 as a miniature version of the atlas of John Speed. Thereby van den Keere's works came by the name "Miniature Speeds".<br> Size : 85x123 mm 3.35x4.84 Inches Coloring: Original Hand Coloring Category: Maps Europe Ireland; Petrus Kaerius caelavit [George Humble] unknown
