1676M8290London. : Tho: Basset; Richard Chiswell c. 1676. Very Good. Notes: A significant map of the British colonies in North America covering the east coast from Maryland and New Jersey northward through New York and New England to the French possessions in Canada. It depicts the territories acquired by the British with the capture of New Amsterdam in 1664 which changed European influence in the colonies from the Dutch to the English. It is the first appearance of name Boston and the first map to use the term New York for both Manhattan and the colony. It is also one of the first maps to show New Jersey. The map is decorated with various animals in the interior of the map two compass roses two cartouches and a coat of arms. With English text on verso that provides interesting information on the colonies.

167621930<p>London: Sold by Tho: Basset in Fleet Street and Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Church yard 1676. 405 by 515mm. 16 by 20.25 inches. Speed's map of Russia Double-page engraved map with hand-colour. A map of Russia one of the nine new maps added to the 1676 edition of Speed's 'Prospect' the first atlas compiled and published by an Englishman. Unusually this map is not in the carte-à-figure style that characterizes the 'Prospect'. Instead set in the top left-hand corner of the map is a detailed plan of Moscow with points of particular interest such as 'The Emperours Palace' and 'The Horse market' labelled. On the right-hand side is an elaborate cartouche containing views including 'Archangel' Arkhangelsk and 'A Hott House'. Accompanying text in English 'The Description of Russia' 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 the present example Russia. It is also the last time that the 'Prospect' was printed as an atlas. Shirley Atlases T.SPE-2f.</p> Sold by Tho: Basset in Fleet Street and Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Church yard,
16769394London 1676. No Binding. Near Fine. 14 3/4 x 19 ¼ inches. Fine hand color; wear to bottom of centerfold else fine condition. A very attractive near-mint example. Speed's handsomely engraved work is one of the earliest English maps of the area and one of the first to demarcate the borders of colonial Virginia and Maryland. Just three years before the publication of Speed's map Augustine Herrman had conducted the first thorough surveys of Maryland at the behest of Lord Baltimore. Speed's was one of the first maps to adopt this groundbreaking cartography. However in general outline Speed still followed the prototype of Captain John Smith who conducted the first European survey of Chesapeake Bay. Speed's map "is the last major derivative of the Smith map and it is unique as an example of the transition from one basic prototype map to another. The delineation of the land area follows Smith while the toponymic prototype was the Herrman map of 1673." Verner in Tooley Mapping of America p.170 A particularly important feature derived from Herrman by Speed is the boundary line indicated by a double row of trees between Virginia and Maryland on the Eastern Shore. English text on the verso contains extensive descriptions of Virginia and Maryland. unknown

167634894London: Thomas Basset & Richard Chiswell 1676. Copper-engraved map. Image area: 15 1/4 x 20 inches. Very good. Matted. The first state of Speed's early map of Virginia.<br/> <br/>As noted by Burden this was the first map to incorporate information from Augustine Hermann's Virginia and Maryland As it is Planted and Inhabited this present Year 1670 a landmark map of the region. While the general outlines of the map are taken from John Smith's map of 1612 much of the toponomy derives from Hermann as well as the representation of Delaware Bay which did not appear on Smith's map and a more accurate depiction of the northeastern shore of Chesapeake Bay.

167615098London: Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell 1676. 380 by 505mm. 15 by 20 inches. Sheet size 408 by 530mm 19 x 21 inches. Engraved map with text on verso. A fine and attractive map of the Carolina colony. Publishers Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell republished English cartographer John Speed's 1552-1629 popular 1611 atlas "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain" in 1676. As a supplement they included new section "A Prospect of the most Famous parts of the World" which contained maps engraved by Francis Lamb of the English colonies of New England and New York Virginia and Maryland Carolina and Florida and Jamaica and Barbados. This map depicts the Carolina colony in 1676 drawing from the Lord Proprietor's Map by royal geographer John Ogilby and the explorations of John Lederer fl. 1670-1675. The map orients the West to the top and depicts the coastline from Cape Charles at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay to the north and St Augustine Florida to the south. Looking inland the Appalachian Mountains marked as "Apalathean Mountains" cut across the top right section of the map. The present map features a cartouche where the Ogilby publication had an inset map of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. This map is one of the first to name Charleston "Charles Town" on the banks of the Ashley River. The map correctly identifies the town on the south bank of the Ashley River whereas Speed's smaller format map of Carolina incorrectly places the town on the north banks of the river. King Charles II granted eight Lord Proprietors land in North America that extended between 31 and 36 degrees latitude later extended to 29 degrees. Lederer was a German explorer who travelled West from the East coast of Virginia in hopes of finding the Pacific and the "Sea of China" with its associated riches. He never did reach the Pacific - unsurprisingly - but his personal records of his travels influenced contemporary maps. His description of the "Arenosa Desert" reflects Lederer's memory of crossing the Carolina pine barrens in the blistering summer heat. The "Great Lake" is likely the Catawba flooded which he mistook as permanent. In total Lederer traipsed across Virginia and the Eastern coast three times making it as far as the Blue Ridge mountains. Lederer's discoveries are recorded in Sir William Talbot's translation of the explorer's account from Latin to English and published in London in 1672 as "The Discoveries of John Lederer in three several Marches from Virginia To the West of Carolina." On the verso the text describes Lederer's journeys and discoveries. Burden 457 Cumming 77 Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell, unknown
