Add to basketNo binding. Condition: Good. FIRST EDITION. Oblong octavo (130 x 170 mm.), full modern calf, gilt ruled, ornate gilt ribbed spine with red calf gilt title label. With engraved pictorial title (browned margin) and dedication leaf, engraved contents leaf, 22 double-page early wash coloured engraved maps by Joseph Ellis numbered to… 21, 18 double-page early wash coloured engraved city plans on 18 sheets numbered to 22 (no no. 9 called for), the 2 of London and 1 of Edinburgh are folding. With slight colour offsetting of the maps, light oxidation of colour on some maps. This appealing atlas was designed to be a companion to Dury's 'A New General and Universal Atlas'. It contains a charming series of town plans based on those of John Rocque, as stated in the title. Except for the map of the Isle of Wight, the maps are coastal ones covering the whole of the British Isles. The Isle of Wight is numbered '0', but placed between '3' and '4' in geographical order, and may have been a last minute inclusion. These are followed by the superb series of town plans. The date of publication is derived from that given to London on the contents leaf 'London as it is this present year 1764'. Andrew Dury (fl.1754-78) it is believed was a Huguenot emigre from Paris who first appears in Dublin in 1754, presumably having accompanied John Rocque. He was, it is believed, the manager of Rocque's shop in 1757. Dury was an engraver, surveyor, publisher, printer, map, and printseller. In 1761 he co-published with Robert Sayer 'A New General and Universal Atlas' with 39 small maps engraved on 45 sheets. A second edition was printed in collaboration with Carington Bowles c.1764 to accompany, it is believed, 'A Collection of Plans of the Principal Cities of Great Britain and Ireland' offered here.

Add to basketNo binding. Folio (560 x 400 mm.), contemporary half calf, ornate blind ruled, with original red calf gilt title label affixed to upper board, rebacked. With typographic title page, index table, general index map of the county, and 18 double page sheets each approximately 460 x 630 mm., all in early outline colour, light offsett…ing as usual, otherwise in good condition. This is one of three large scale county surveys published by the partners John Andrews (fl.1766-98) and Andrew Dury (fl.1742-78). The other counties were of Hertfordshire published c.1766 and Kent in 1769. This, the last of their counties, was first published in 1773. All three were undertaken at the very large scale of TWO INCHES TO THE MILE, only a handful were published with this much detail in the eighteenth century. This is an example of the second edition published by William Faden, it is rarer than the first. Indeed, the general index map is known by only the one example in the Royal Geographical Society and one other example found in the Kentish Catalogue of 1997. Faden improved the map considerably with new information. A further feature is the introduction of a title page and a list of the towns, villages and 'Principal Seats of the Nobility and Gentry'. The numeration of the plates was also altered; it now starts in the north west corner of the county. He removed the old list of subscribers and replaced it with a new title. The ornate dedication cartouche to the landowners of the county was designed by Giovanni Battista Cipriani and engraved by James Caldwell (1739-1822). Provenance: private English collection. Kentish 'Large Scale County Maps of England and Wales 1705-1832', no. 63; Rodger (1972) 495; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).

(A few folds at tears, some faint offsetting.) Overall an extremely handsome atlas. A Large, Handsome Faden Composite Atlas With 39 Large Maps, Including 3 Standouts.This composite atlas, a remarkable amalgamation of large-scale maps by the preeminent British cartographers of the late 18th Century, is a testament to the era's cartographic excellence and geopolitical complexities. The atlas incorporates three of the great America-centric maps from the last quarter of the 18th century, Faden's The United States of North America, Speer's Chart of the West Indies, and the Faden-Roberts "Lost Cook Chart".William Faden's The United States of North America (1785) captures the post-Revolutionary War era, delineating the newly defined United States boundaries as established by the Treaty of Paris. Its intricate coloring distinguishes American, British, and Spanish territories, highlighting the strategic Newfoundland coasts and emphasizing French fishing rights. The map's iterative quality, updated continuously by Faden throughout its decades-long publication history, makes it one of the enduring records of the United States' early development.Joseph Smith Speer's Chart of the West Indies from 1774 provides a detailed portrayal of the Caribbean and southeastern North America at the brink of the American Revolution. Speer, a skilled hydrographer, adeptly color-coded territories under various European powers, offering insights into the geopolitical climate of the period and including crucial maritime information.Henry Roberts and William Faden's Chart of the N.W. Coast of America and the N.E. Coast of Asia, in this, its first state, is often referred to as Captain James Cook's "lost chart," which depicts the Northern Pacific Coastlines. It illustrates Cook's discoveries on his revelatory Third Voyage, as well as the territorial reaches of British, Russian, and Spanish explorations.Collectively, these maps narrate the dynamic interplay of national development, exploration, and colonial ambition, reflecting the complexities and transformations of the late 18th century.ContentsThe present atlas has seven 4-sheet maps (Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Black Sea region, Europe, and the Mediterranean). There are also ocean charts, maps of India, a Mercator-style world map that shows the route of Cook s voyages, and many others.1. William Faden.

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. A spectacular and historically important 18th century wall-map of the Republic of Genoa. Details In many ways, this beautifully composed chart of the Republic of Genoa epitomizes why we love maps. It is deeply evocative, not only of a time in which Italy remained segregated into republics and pr…incipalities, but indeed of the dramatic landscapes of the French and Italian Rivieras that once constituted the Republic of Genoa. It is thus that each time we engage with this map, different details seem to jump off the page. Sometimes the first thing that comes to mind is the natural topography: the way the mountains of Liguria press right up to the sea, giving shape to the dramatic and picturesque port towns of Portofino, Sanremo, and Monaco, and the fashionable beach towns of Antibes, Nice, and Cannes. Other times, this is a map that makes us think about power both gained and lost for at the center of the map we find the heart of the Republic: the great city of Genoa. The Republic of Genoa was a dominant maritime power and far-reaching mini-empire that existed for almost seven centuries. And yet, the end was near, and before the turn of the century, Napoleon would erase it from the map. In that sense, this map constitutes an historically important documentation of a key region in Europe on the cusp of change. Neatline is famous for its detailed and in-depth descriptions.

Contemporary half russia; extremities lightly rubbed, corners bumped. mba004 A fine example, with aristocratic provenance, of Dury's London edition of two wall-maps of North-Western Italy: Borgonio's Carta corografica degli Stati di S.M. il Re di Sardegna and Chaffrion's Carta dela rivera de Genoa. Giovanni Tomasso Borgonio (1620-83) was a Piedmontese military engineer active in the Kingdom of Savoy in the late 1770s and early 1680s, who made a series of important surveys of towns of the region, many published in Blaeu's Town Books of Italy (the Savoy (Sabaudia) volumes, Amsterdam 1682). He is however best known for his remarkable survey of the Kingdom of Sardinia, published as Carta generale de' Stati di S.A.R. in 1680. Josà Chaffrion (1653-98), a Spanish military engineer, was active in Piedmont in the 1680s, producing a fine map of Liguria in 1685. Both are outstanding examples of the surveyors' art, both are very rare in the original printing and both had a huge (and long-term) influence on the cartography of the two regions, neither map really superseded for over a century. When Andrew Dury (d. 1777), a London publisher of French Huguenot extraction, decided to issue maps of these two regions, these were still the best maps available to him - and this London edition catches in full the quality and detail of the originals. The Borgonio map was dedicated to John, Earl of Bute, some-time favourite of and Prime Minister to King George III; however, he enjoyed a spectacular fall from grace when he lost the ear of the king, and the absence, in this copy, of the sheet bearing the dedication to him (which has no map content) may reflect the politics of the day, as there is no evidence of its later removal. Cox II, p.406; Shirley BL T.DURY-3a.

Add to basketHertfordshire - Rare large-scale map of Hertfordshire Folio (550 by 400mm), index map, large-scale engraved map, on nine sheets, fine original full-wash colour, plan of Hertford, and plan of St Albans, half-calf over blue marbled paper boards. Andrews's and Dury's large scale map of Hertfordshire. John Andrews and Andrew Dury we…re responsible for three large scale eighteenth century county surveys: the present map - Hertfordshire 1766 , Kent 1769, and Wiltshire in 1773. All three surveys are on a scale of two inches to one mile. The majority of the large scale maps were on a scale of one inch to one mile. This larger scale allowed for much greater detail; and the map depicts hills, woods and barrows, commons heaths and parks, rivers, ponds and wells, bridges and windmills, churches and chapels, towns, villages and parishes, gentlemen's seats, farms and houses, turnpikes, secondary roads and lanes, county and hundred boundaries. A note on the map reads "NB The Western Part of this County from Chipping Barnet along the North Road was Survey'd by John Andrews, the East Part by Andrew Dury etc". Dury was a London book-seller who probably put up most of the capital for the project. The map, which sold for £1.16s. in sheets, is functional rather than decorative, the title being contained in a simple rectangle. The only decoration is provided by the dedication - a large vignette engraving incorporating a hunting scene with the names of various nobility on a banner in the sky. Although the name of the map's engraves is not given, it could be possibly have been John Cheevers who engraved the town plans that were published by Dury around the same time.
