This book delves not only into practical techniques but also into the theoretical principles and historical context of oil painting, ultimately demonstrating how a mastery of oil colors can elevate an artist's practice.

ANNOTATED ONBOARD A CONTEMPORARY VOYAGE. Original engraved folding map (100 x 66.5 cm) depicting the Canary Islands, Madeira and part of the West Coast of Africa, incorporating five inset maps of the Islands of Madeira, the Island of Porto Santo, the Road of Funchal, the Roadstead of Santa-Cruz, and Great Salvage, together with five engraved coastal landscape profiles of Funchal and the South Madeira, Porto Santo, Allegranza, the Island of Palma, Tenerife from the South-West, and the Isleta of the Grand Canary. Copiously annotated with printed notations of settlements, landmarks, references to other maps and books, and navigational aids ("good anchorage", "strong current", "Shell fish abundant", "Pyramid, a high Rock frequently mistaken for a large Ship under sail", "Beware of approaching too near the coast hereabout, lest the Current set you aground on the Flat, and you fall, enslaved, into the hands of the Arabs"). Additionally annotated with detailed manuscript notes written in fine blue ink relating to a two-part voyage made in 1844 aboard the Brig 'Vernon' and the Schoone 'Admiral Colpoys'. A very good copy of a map which has seen active service, with old damp marking throughout and a little creasing to the bottom corners. A splendid engraved map of the Canary Islands, meticulously annotated during a contemporary voyage. Clearly used as a navigational aid, the annotations carefully chart the progress of a two-part voyage from Porto Santo, Madeira, via Funchal, to Santa Cruz, Tenerife. First describing the progress of the initial leg from Porto Santo to Madeira (31st January - 2nd February 1844) onboard the Brig 'Vernon', under Captain Webster, they go on to summarise the final leg from Funchal, Madeira to Santa Cruz, Tenerife, via the Schooner the 'Admiral Colpoys', commanded by Nathaniel Spencer: "19th October 1844. - Schooner 'Admiral Colpoys', Nathl. Spencer Commdr., from Madeira to Teneriffe. At 1 p.m. made sail at Noon on 20th Lat. 30. 33. 25 Miles Northward of the Great Salvage. At 1 p.m. Gt. Salvage S. by E. 20 miles. At 7 p.m. passed the Southern Salvage. At Daylight 21st saw the Eastend of Tenerife. At Noon East End South Distant about 4 Leagues. At 5.30 p.m. Dropped anchor in the Roadstead of Santa Cruz". Each leg of the voyage is also accurately recorded on the map using neat ruled lines in blue ink. The manuscript annotations additionally comment on the map's accuracy, mark further settlements and correct information such as population statistics, noting, for example, beside the island of South Deserta: "Population according to Wyld's Chart, 600. Incorrect. No constant residents. A few fishermen occasionally resort there for a few months in the year and scarcely amount to fifty in number". In another significant intervention, the annotator also asserts that in the map's panorama of Funchal, the "mountains [are] scarcely lofty enough in proportion to the space occupied by the town", with the mountains' summits diligently re-drawn in ink. On the inset map depicting Porto Santo, the mooring of the 'Vernon' off the island's coast is denoted by way of a small hand-drawn ship, which is also accompanied by an inland route noting the location of "water", and there is a further hand-drawn inland route on the island of Madeira, which additionally notes elevations and additional settlements/landmarks. The Canary Islands were a popular port of call for ships travelling between Europe and the Americas, with some transporting the islands' own products such as cochineal, sugarcane and rum to be sold in American ports such as Veracruz, Campeche, La Guaira and Havana. An evocative map, having seen active service aboard (at least) two contemporary voyages within the Canary Islands. Scarcity: Only one institutional copy recorded worldwide according to WorldCat (British Library).

Condition is very good with original hand colour and central fold as issued.Robert Laurie (ca. 1755-1836) and James Whittle (1757-1818) formed their Fleet Street, London-based firm upon the 1794 death of their employer Robert Sayer, himself one of the dominant print and mapmakers of the last half of the 18th century. Laurie Whittle started managing Sayers business as early as 1787. They took over all managerial duties when Sayers health flagged in 1792, and they changed the imprint in 1794 upon his death. Sayer left the two a 21-year lease on the shop (at andpound;100 a year) and on Sayers Bolt Court premises, as well as an option to acquire stock and equipment at a preferential price of andpound;5,000 payable over three years.Robert Laurie retired from the firm in 1812, and his role was assumed by his son, Richard Holmes Laurie (1777-1858). The younger Laurie worked with James Whittle until the latter died in 1818. After R. H. Laurie died in 1858, Alexander George Findlay, FRGS (1812-1875) purchased the firm from his daughters. The firm continues today under another name, specializing in yachting charts. Laurie Whittle were prolific print and map publishers, and throughout their careers, they produced numerous very important and rare works. They carried on Robert Sayers atlas business and were responsible for editions ofThe Complete East-India PilotandThe American Atlas.

Richard Holmes Laurie (1777-1858) was the son of mezzotint engraver Robert Laurie, who had taken over Robert Sayers publishing house with James Whittle in 1794. Richard Holmes Laurie joined in apartnership with Whittle when his father retired in 1812. The name of the firm then switched from Laurie Whittle to Whittle Laurie. Whittle died in 1818, leaving Richard Holmes to continue publishing alone as R. H. Laurie. When the Hydrographic Office opened in 1795, it was tasked with creating and producing all the nautical charts for the Royal Navy so as to wean the Navy off dependence on foreign charts. By the 1820s, private publishers were augmenting HO charts and competing with them, including Richard Holmes Laurie. Richard gave up publishing anything except nautical materials by 1830. He also sold charts to Trinity House, the lighthouse and maritime safety fraternity. He died in 1858. The firm continued to print under the name R.H. Laurie even after 1858.Later, the firm was managed by Lauries draughtsman, Alexander George Findlay, and, later, Daniel and William Kettle. Size approx 84cm x 67cm.
