Item description from seller

Copper engraving, 460 x 560 mm. [London : James Knapton and others,  Prepared for Nathaniel Cutler's Atlas Maritimus et Commercialis (London, 1728), an ambitious new sea-atlas of 52 charts, drawn by John Harris, John Senex and Henry Wilson, the atlas "with a sett of Sea-Charts, some laid down after Mercator, but the greater Part according to a New Globular Projection, adapted for measuring distance (as near as possible) by scale and compass" (as described on the title-page).   The atlas seems not to have been a success; the market was already dominated by the (wholly inferior) 'English Pilot', which divided the regions of the world into separate volumes and so was considerably cheaper, and more functional, than this luxury production. Consequently the atlas, and individual charts from it, are very scarce.
