First Edition
Folio (16 3/8 x 11 1/2 in.; 41.6 x 29.2 cm). Engraved frontispiece in contemporary handcoloring heightened in gold depicting an enthroned Queen Elizabeth I as the patron of Geography and Astronomy (Hind state II with the dress falling in folds between her knees) attributed to Remigius Hogenberg, letterpress index leaf (setting D), handcolored double-page engraved plate of coats of arms and a table of counties, 35 double-page engraved (Yorkshire folding) after Saxton by Hogenberg, Lenaert Terwoort, Cornelis de Hooghe, Augustine Ryther, Francis Scatter, and Nicholas Reynolds, ALL WITH CONTEMPORARY HANDCOLORING, most watermarked with a small bunch of grapes; minor marginal losses to frontispiece, index cut round and mounted, top margins of maps of Kent (Cantium) and Wilton shaved, Wilton also with tiny burnhole not significantly affecting map, minor marginal staining or foxing affecting approximately 6 maps, margins of Southampton and Devonshire somewhat tender and frayed. Eighteenth-century mottled calf, the spine gilt (one lettered) in seven compartments with raised bands; mottling oxidized. (64V1D) A MAGNIFICENT COPY WITH CONTEMPORARY HAND-COLORING OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THE MOST CELEBRATED AND EARLIEST ATLAS OF ENGLAND AND WALES, THE DITCHLEY COPY. Map making became increasingly prevalent during the reign of Elizabeth I due to advances in surveying techniques and copperplate engraving. At the same time, state officials began to realize the political and administrative advantages of accurate maps. Among them was Elizabeth's shrewd chief advisor, William Cecil, Lord Burghley, who relentlessly tracked politically volatile areas such as the Anglo-Scottish border. He was instrumental in ensuring that court official Thomas Seckford financed the first comprehensive survey of the counties of England and Wales. In turn, Seckford commissioned Saxton to undertake the task of producing an atlas of England and Wales. All the maps bear Seckford's arms in tandem with the Royal Arms (with the exception of Norfolk which lacks the latter), thus reflecting his deep involvement in this monumental enterprise. For his part, Burghley retained proofs of all the maps, which are now housed at the British Library. Christopher Saxton grew up in Yorkshire and received his early training in surveying from the local vicar, John Rudd. Begun in 1574, Saxton's survey produced its first map (Norfolk) that year. All the maps are dated between 1574 and 1578, with the exception of Northumberland (undated) and Anglia (dated 1579 and probably the last to be completed). This copy has the coats of arms plate issued circa 1589, suggesting that it was printed about 1590 "when the atlas assumed its definitive form" (Skelton). Dutch and Flemish engravers were employed to produce fifteen of the maps with additional contributions by skilled English artisans. The main geographical features on the maps include detailed depictions of rivers, streams, hills and mountains, parks, and woodlands. Woods are shown by small tree symbols, with clusters representing forests. Parklands are enclosed with ring fences while a small building with a spire represents a village. In consideration of the work and expense involved, Queen Elizabeth, to whom the atlas is dedicated, granted Saxton a license in 1577 for the exclusive publication of the maps for a period of ten years. An unparalleled commercial success, the atlas formed the basis of English regional mapping for more than a century, prompting attempts at similar enterprises by cartographers such as John Speed, John Norton, Michael Drayton, and Philip Lea, who adapted and added to Saxton's magnum opus.

(64V1D) FIRST EDITION, THE MACCLESFIELD COPY WITH CONTEMPORARY HAND-COLORING OF THE MOST CELEBRATED AND EARLIEST ATLAS OF ENGLAND AND WALES. The index has been annotated in a late 16th-century hand to include the additional maps of Ireland and Scotland, and with the same hand annotating the map of Cheshire to show Macclesfield, the map of Lancaster to show Harrington Park (owned by ancestors of the Stanley family).

Folio. (20 3/4 x 13 inches). French text, letterpress title on slip within hand-coloured engraved architectural border, heightened in gilt, 60 engraved general and county maps (59 double page) including general maps of Scotland and Ireland preceded by a printed divisional half-title (not called for in the index at end), all finely coloured by a contemporary hand, 71 illustrations (3 hand-coloured). Contemporary red morocco, paneled in gilt with fillets and decorative rolls, the inner panel with elaborate blocked cornerpieces of stylized scrolling foliage, a blocked central oval of scrolling flowers and foliage enclosing a small blank oval, the spine gilt in eight compartments with raised bands, each compartment with a central rose flower-head tool and a small flower-spray tool at each corner, green cloth ties, gilt edges, modern tan cloth box, brown morocco lettering-piece. An unrecorded variant edition of Blaeu's atlas of England and Wales, in a magnificent contemporary red morocco binding. The fifty-eight maps normally found in the French editions are supplemented by an appendix with a half-title and two new maps. These new maps are general maps of Scotland and Ireland, which were the first two maps completed for Blaeu's atlas of Scotland. The forthcoming publication of the Scotland atlas is announced on the half-title, but it did not appear on the market until 1654 (as volume 5 of the Theatrum). Neither Koeman nor Skelton mention a French edition with this appendix, which is normally found in the Dutch-text edition of 1647 (Koeman B145B). The ephemeral nature of this edition is confirmed by the fact that the supplement is not mentioned in the index at the end. The present atlas is volume four of the six-volume French text edition of the Theatrum (or Théâtre du Monde). The volumes of the Theatrum were published separately from 1635 to 1655. Volume 4 was introduced with French text in 1645. In its completed form, the Theatrum was the finest and most accurate atlas yet to have been published. Koeman I, Bl-42 C (not calling for the extra maps of Scotland or Ireland present here); Skelton 43.

Using contemporary sources, he published and drew maps the county maps in his "Large English Atlas," the first to cover England and Wales on a large scale, which were subsequently reduced by Bowen and Kitchin for their "Royal English Atlas" and then by Emanuel and Thomas Bowen for "Atlas Anglicanus," published after Emanuel Bowen's death by Kitchin. "All three works are characterized by detailed texts in the spaces surrounding the maps and by elegant rococo decoration, which became the hallmark of his engraving" (DNB).

EXQUISITE FULL VELLUM BY JAMES BROCKMAN (stamp-signed and dated 1979 in gold on rear turn-in), covers with extensive gilt maze-like design in the form of an electric circuit, the lines emanating from and connecting to painted multi-colored "resistors," FULL VELLUM DOUBLURES, the gilt lines carried over from covers to become parallel rules joining long, colorful waves resembling light passing through a prism, smooth spine with gilt lettering, all edges gilt. Original printed glossy wrappers bound in. Housed in a (slightly worn) blue cloth drop-back box. With four maps in black & white, and 46 maps printed in color, showing the geographical distribution of various minerals throughout England and Wales. With two clear overlays tucked into folder at rear; final free endpaper with book label of Lord Wardington. â A short, very light mark on upper board, otherwise in perfect condition. In a meeting of science and art, this important study of British mineral deposits is given the royal treatment with a binding of luxurious vellum and memorable gilt geometric design done by a modern master. The creamy white vellum is the perfect backdrop for the complex design here, allowing the gold and colors to pop off their canvas in a dance of technical precision and pleasing aesthetics. This visual nod to electrical circuits, light waves, and prisms on the covers and doublures seems to reference the "spectrographic" technique that was heavily used in the present study, in which light was passed through sediment samples and then analyzed for the presence of 21 different elements according to their unique signatures. Advancements in computer programming allowed scientists to process an unprecedented number of samples (nearly 50,000 taken over the course of a year) more quickly than ever before, and, crucially, on a large scale. The resulting array of maps shows the dispersion of various mineral deposits nationwide and, according to the British Geological Survey, "remains the only completed high density regional geochemical stream sediment survey of England." A past president of Designer Bookbinders and the Society of Bookbinders, Brockman (b. 1946) apprenticed as a finisher at Blackwell's, studied with Ivor Robinson, and served as assistant to Sydney Cockerell at Cambridge from 1968-73. Three years later, he opened his own bindery in Oxford, which continues to produce notable work. The present binding was commissioned by Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease, 2nd Lord Wardington (1924-2005) a distinguished bibliophile whose collection included more than 700 select volumes containing some 60,000 maps. An active member of the Roxburghe Club, he also belonged to the Grolier Club and was an honorary fellow of the Guild of Designer Bookbinders.

No binding. British County AtlasGeorge Frederick Cruchley (1797-1880) had learned his trade with Aaron Arrowsmith and began to work for himself in 1823. His early days were concentrated on publishing maps of London but following the death of John Cary in 1834 he acquired much of the stock from the surviving heirs. This included the plates that were originally published by Cary as the 'New and Correct English Atlas', 1809. Cruchley made lithographic transfers from the plates and sold them largely as individual county maps. Cruchley retired to Brighton in 1876 and his stock was auctioned at Hodgson's on 16 January 1877. Much of it was acquired by the firm of Gall & Inglis. James Gall (1783-1874) established his own business in Edinburgh in 1810. His son, also James (1808-95) joined him briefly before being replaced by Robert Inglis c.1848 to form Gall & Inglis. They continued to issue this series of county maps individually and published this one last edition of the atlas with similar title retaining the Cruchley imprint. The maps now all bear the imprint of Gall & Inglis. The names of the new parliamentary divisions following the 'Representation of the People Act' of 1885 have been overprinted. There are new maps of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire as one, and one of Westmoreland and Lake District. That of Monmouthshire is also from a new plate.All twenty-one of the maps previously altered to illustrate geological information are present. Each is coloured politically, but the geological information remains. Those of Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire which were unpublished geologically are also present. Somerset was unfinished and signs of geological work are present, it is very rare. That of Surrey was re-engraved in 1863 to record additional geological data by Sir Joseph Prestwich, it is not present here. Wiltshire also contains more recent geological information. The Contents page boasts that the maps bear a number of 'distinctive characters'. Amongst these are that they are on the 'largest scale yet adopted for any similar purpose', and that the 'continuation of each Railway into adjoining Counties is accurately delineated, exhibiting at a glance facilities of intercommunication and thus supplying an important desideratum to Commercialists'. There were no later editions. Copies of the later editions are just as rare as the geologically coloured earlier ones. Provenance: Donald Hodson collection.

Original Half Leather Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Second Edition. 1806. Second edition. [iv], 42 pages of hand-coloured copper-plate maps with description of the counties of England; [i], 12 pages of maps of Wales with descriptive accounts; a double-page coloured index map; and a 1 page index. This is a scarce atlas of England and Wales, prepared for use of the young. John Luffman (1776-1820) was a London based engraver, publisher and professional goldsmith. He was also an author in his own right and an accomplished geographer. His early works were engravings of the road maps in Taylor and Skinner?s Survey and Maps of the Roads of North Britain, 1776, followed by some city plans and a number of county maps. In 1803, he engraved, printed and published the work for which he is best known, "A New Pocket Atlas". It is noted for the unusual circular maps with detailed descriptive text below, which proved to be very popular. Each map is engraved with a text of topographical information below the map. He writes in his preface that geography is "too often neglected in the education of our your. A knowledge of the geography of our own country, in particular, must be obvious to every one. With a view to this part of juvenile education, I have been induced to offer to ther public the following sheets, elucidated with maps, that will at once make ther pupil acquainted, not only wioth the form and situation, but with every particular relative to each county. The book is bound in the original half-leather over marbled paper covered boards and a paper label on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some expected signs of its age of over 200 years. There is some shelf wear and soiling on the boards and there is a little damage and loss to the leather around the corner tips. About 1/4" of the leather is missing from the top of the spine and about 1/2" is missing from the bottom of the spine. The contents are tight and the maps are bright and clean. There is some foxing on the endpapers, the title page and index map at the end of the book. A few of the pages of maps have light finger smudges on the fore edge. The endpapers also have some soiling and there is a water stain on the top 1/2" and part of the fore edge of the front free endpaper. An old name and address has been written on the front free endpaper which also has a small book label from a previous owner, probably from the 1930s. Overall, this is a sound and clean copy of a scarce volume.
