Hardcover. Condición: Good. First. First edition. London: R. Sayer and J. Bennet, [1776]. Octavo in 4s (9" x 5 3/4", 227mm x 145mm). [Full collation available.] With 6 folding engraved maps outlined in color. Bound in contemporary marbled boards backed in modern morocco. On the spine, five raised bands. Title ("AMERICA/ POCKET/ ATLAS") gilt to red sheep in the second panel. Modern backing, with renewed and repaired mounts (the text-leaves bound as singletons). Peripheral tanning, and some soiling. Splits, mostly repaired, to the maps, with some narrow losses near the folds. Offsetting and pigment oxidation throughout. Signs of removed bookplates from the front paste-down, with some offsetting to the first free end-paper. Graphite additions to the fifth map ("A General Map of the Southern British Colonies." in modern Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee). Sayer and Bennet succeeded the great English mapmaker Thomas Jefferys in providing official maps for the British military. The importance of the undated atlas is exemplified by a few words in the title: "those which now are, or probably may be The Theatre of War." This collection of six maps was calibrated to be accessible and useful to officers of whatever rank; so much did it become standard-issue that it came to be known as the holster atlas, finding its place in officers' saddles. The maps are: 1. North America, as divided amongst the European Powers. By Samuel Dunn, Mathematician. London: Robert Sayer, 10 Jan.y 1774. 2. A Compleat Map of the West Indies, Containing the coasts of Florida, Louisiana, New Spain, and Terra Firma: with all the Islands. By Samuel Dunn, Mathematician.

London: Robert Sayer and John Bennet, Aug.st 5th 1776. Second state (with the additional paragraph on the battle of Valcour Island, dated October the 11.th 1776). No bibliographer seems ever to have seen A1 (Streeter presumes it is the half-title). The previous marks of ownership have been fairly successfully removed, although a faint notation of "N 90(?)" at the upper edge of the front paste-down suggests that this was in a large collection. Indications of new precincts or counties southwest of South Carolina point to Southern ownership. Howes A 208, Sabin 1147; Schwartz & Ehrenberg, The Mapping of America p. 109; Streeter I:73.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. London: Printed and Sold by R. Sayer and J. Bennett, 1776. Folio (21 1/2" x 15 3/8", 540mm x 390mm ). 23 maps on 30 sheets (all folding or double-page except one single page) by Henry Mouzon, William Scull, Lewis Evans and others, handcolored in outline, letterpress title and index, map sheets numbered on versos with several misnumbered, maps hinged on guards. Bound in contemporary speckled calf, rebacked, endpapers renewed. On the spine, 6 raised bands, with author/title gilt to morocco in second panel, florettes in other panels. Extremities rubbed, hinges and tail of spine worn. Light browning and faint offsetting affecting six maps (The Banks of Newfoundland, no. 13; Lake Champlain, no. 18; Virginia and Maryland, no. 21; Florida, no. 25; Mississippi, no. 26; and South America, no. 29); minor dampstaining on bottom margins of title, index, and first 7 maps. Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771) was a British cartographer, engraver and publisher, known as "Geographer to the King "(George III). He produced some of the most accurate and detailed maps of North America and the Caribbean in the mid 18th century. This atlas provides a comprehensive record of the thirteen colonies during the Revolutionary War era and includes extensive reconnaissance mapping of French Canada, including Newfoundland. After Jefferys death, Sayer and Bennett came to own his copyright and, doubtless, his plates. In 1775 they issued the first collection of his maps in addition to others', doubtless in response to the commencement of hostilities in April of that year. As tensions rose, demand -- from American and British officers, crucially -- rose with it, not only for the original maps but to more detailed and precise maps of crucial battlegrounds. The 1776 edition is the great setting of the stage for the War of Independence, the preparation of the board on which the game would be played. Provenance: Ingilby (contemporary ownership inscription on title-page) and Dillon/Dunwalke Library (bookplate and shelfmark) Sotheby's New York, 15 June 2006, lot 204 (undesignated consignor).

Bound in full speckled calf with green morocco label to the top board with gilt letters. On the smooth spine, rebacked with parts of the original spine laid down. Chip to label, extremities and hinges worn. Some guards renewed, inner blank margin of title-page renewed, folding maps lightly worn in folds, one with a small closed tear at a fold and a repaired tear in the fore-margin. Occasional smudges, foxing and tanning. Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771) was a British cartographer, engraver and publisher, known as "Geographer to the King "(George III). He produced some of the most accurate and detailed maps of North America and the Caribbean in the mid 18th century. This is an extremely rare early edition of Jefferys masterful charts of the Caribbean. It was produced during a time of great naval and colonial expansion. Early editions area very rare. According to Sotheby's, only two copes have sold in the past fifty years. Jefferys' first work on the Caribbean, The West-India Atlas, was published in 1775 as a companion to his American Atlas. Following its publication, Sayer and Bennett produced the present work, which contains only the charts from the Atlas. Sabin 35956.…

Hardcover. Condición: Near fine. Second. Second edition, expanded. London: Printed by R. Sayer and J. Bennett, 1776. Folio (21 11/16" x 15 3/4", 550mm x 402mm): [pi]-2[pi]^1 (title, blank, index, blank). With 30 engraved hand-outlined (some colored) plates (comprising 23 maps), of which 29 are folding and 1 is single. Bound in modern half calf over marbled boards. On the spine, six raised bands. Title gilt to red morocco in the second panel. Restored by James and Stuart Brockman (2021, full report available). Some tanning to the peripheries of the plates. Maps numbered on verso in early ink (stamps?). Else fine. Thomas Jefferys (1719-1771) was geographer first to the Prince of Wales and then, upon his accession, to George III. From the 1750's he had been issuing maps of the Americas, which, because of the Prince of Wales's patronage, benefitted from the most up-to-date surveys. After his death, Sayer and Bennett came to own his copyright and, doubtless, his plates. In 1775 they issued the first collection of his maps in addition to others', doubtless in response to the commencement of hostilities in April of that year. As tensions rose, demand -- from American and British officers, crucially -- rose with it, not only for the original maps but to more detailed and precise maps of crucial battlegrounds. The 1776 edition is the great setting of the stage for the War of Independence, the preparation of the board on which the game would be played. It is telling which maps were updated: 8, "A map of the british empire in North America" is now "improved from the surveys of capt. Carver"; 17 (orig. 18) "The provinces of New York and New Jersey, with part of Pensilvania" is now "improved from the original materials by govern. Pownall"; and generally more focus on the regions flanking the modern U.S.-Canada border, as with the addition of map 18: "A survey of lake Champlain, including lake George, Crown point and St. John. . ." Collation of this sort is a concrete and underexploited way of tracking shifting British strategy.

Hand-coloured copper engraving, heightened by touches of gum arabic. Printed on fine laid paper. Very good condition apart from some minor foxing in the margins. A panoramic view of the Hamoze estuary, which flows into the Plymouth Sound and joins the River Plym. This vibrantly coloured plate is from a series of five prints depicting the celebrated scenery of Mount Edgcumbe. Taken from the pinnacle of Mount Edgcumbe peering over the verdant canopy of trees, this beautiful print affords a clear view of the busy Plymouth dockyard. Established in 1690, the docks have an extensive naval history and, by the late 1700s, were one of the principal bases of the Royal Navy. Fleets as well as solitary naval vessels were stationed there, and the dockyard was also actively engaged in the manufacturing of new ships. Situated in Cornwall on the slopes of the Rame peninsula overlooking the River Tamar and the Plymouth Sound, Mount Edgcumbe was the family seat of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. Amidst the lush parklands and eighteenth-century gardens for which Edgcumbe is famous, sits Mount Edgcumbe House, an impressive Tudor-style residence erected by Roger Palmer in 1547-53 at the behest of Sir Richard Edgcumbe of Cotehele.

Halsey (1847-1918), 'un des principaux collectionneurs de son èpoque à New York' (Lugt 1308) The image (of a fashionably-dressed young lady reclining by a brook being approached by a young gentleman) is explained by the engraved verse (by 'Mr. Nicholl') in the title area beneath the image: Alone by the side of a murmuring rill / That lav'd the gay foot of a primrosy hill / Pastora beneath a broad poplar was laid / When Damon in extasy enter'd the Shade / He sigh'd & he swore by the pow'rs overhead / If she'd bless him to day, to morrow he'd wed.…

The American Atlas is the most important 18th-century atlas for America. Walter Ristow describes it as a "geographical description of the whole continent of America, as portrayed in the best available maps in the latter half of the eighteenth century.as a major cartographic reference work it was, very likely, consulted by American, English, and French civilian administrators and military officers during the Revolution." As a collection, The American Atlas stands as the most comprehensive, detailed, and accurate survey of the American colonies at the beginning of the Revolution. Among the distinguished maps are Braddock Meade's "A Map of the Most Inhabited Parts of New England," the largest and most detailed map of New England that had yet been published; "The Provinces of New York and New Jersey" by Samuel Holland, the surveyor general for the northern American colonies; William Scull's "A Map of Pennsylvania," the first map of that colony to include its western frontier; Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson's "A Map of the Most Inhabited part of Virginia," the best colonial map for the Chesapeake region; and Lieut. Ross' "Course of the Mississipi," the first map of that river based on English sources. Jefferys was the leading English cartographer of the 18th century. From about 1750 he published a series of maps of the English American colonies that were among the most significant produced in the period. As Geographer to the Prince of Wales, and after 1761, Geographer to the King, Jefferys was well placed to have access to the best surveys conducted in America, and many of his maps held the status of "official work." Jefferys died on November 20, 1771, and in 1775 his successors, Robert Sayer and John Bennett, gathered together these separately issued maps and republished them in book form as The American Atlas. The only difference between this 1782 edition and the editions of 1776 and 1778 is the titlepage; the maps are all the same. They are as follows: 1) Braddock Meade (alias John Green): "A Chart of North and South America, including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans." Published June 10, 1775. Six sheets joined into three, a total of 43½ x 49½ inches. This great wall map was chiefly issued to expose the errors in Delisle and Buache's map of the Pacific Northwest, published in Paris in 1752. 2) "Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg. The Russian Discoveries." Published March 2nd 1775. One sheet, 18 x 24 inches. 3) Thomas Pownall after E. Bowen: "A New and Correct Map of North America, with the West India Islands." Published July 15th 1779. Four sheets joined into two, 43 x 47 inches. Thomas Pownall updated Bowen's North America map of 1755. Pownall's version includes the results of the first Treaty of Paris drawn up after the end of the French and Indian War. 4) Thomas Jefferys: "North America from the French of Mr. D'Anville, Improved with the English Surveys Made since the Peace." Published June 10, 1775. One sheet, 18 x 20 inches. 5) Samuel Dunn: "A Map of the British Empire in North America." Published August 17, 1776. Half sheet, 12 x 19 inches. This updates Dunn's map of 1774. 6) Thomas Jefferys: "An Exact Chart of the River St. Laurence from Fort Frontenac to the Island of Anticosti." Published May 25, 1775. Two sheets joined into one, 23½ x 37 inches. 7) Sayer and Bennett: "A Chart of the Gulf of St. Laurence." Published March 25, 1775. One sheet, 19½ x 24 inches. 8) "A Map of the Island of St. John in the Gulf of St. Laurence." Published April 6, 1775. One sheet, 15 x 27¼ inches. 9) James Cook and Michael Lane: "A General Chart of the Island of Newfoundland." Published May 10, 1775. One sheet, 21½ x 22 inches. James Cook went on to gain renown for his Pacific exploration. 10) "A Chart of the Banks of Newfoundland." Published March 25, 1775. One sheet, 19½ x 26 inches. Based on the surveys of James Cook (see above), Chabert, and Fleurieu. 11) Braddock Meade (alias John Green): "A New Map of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island". PHILLIPS, ATLASES 1169.

Single sheet (20 ½ x 27 inches) This map is considered one of the most important maps of the British colonies done prior to Independence. Lewis Evans' map shows the East coast of North America from Montreal and New England to the Northern border of North Carolina. It also includes the Ohio Valley in the West. It shows areas of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Connecticut. The map also includes a sketch of the upper parts of Canada on the upper left hand side. Evans' map of the Middle British Colonies appeared in 1755, the same year in which John Mitchell published his famous "Mitchell Map". Evans drew from his own original surveys, however he also used surveys attributed to Fry and Jefferson's map of Virginia (1753). Evans' map acknowledges French claims to all lands northwest of St. Lawrence Fort, resulting in criticism from New York. Despite the controversy, Evans's work was influential (there were eighteen editions and piracies issued between 1755 and 1814), and was famously used by General Braddock during the French and Indian War. "By 1758 Kitchin's plate seems to have passed into the possession of Thomas Jefferys, the famous map publisher of Charing Cross, for in that year we find the map re-issued with exactly the same title as Kitchin's but with an alteration in the imprint . Very little difference is to be observed between the issues of 1756 and 1758, but a number of new Forts on the back settlements are added in the latter . Fort du Quesne, which was marked simply F. du Quesne' in the 1756 plate, is now lettered 'Ft. du Quesne Destroy'd 1758 now called Pittsburg'" (Stevens). This correction to this issue makes this map the earliest map to name Pittsburgh. A rare issue of a desirable map of colonial America. Lewis Evans was a Welsh surveyor and geographer, working predominantly in British America. He travelled to the British Colonies in the mid-18th century; where he began his work for his later published maps. Evans was a frequent name in social circles; supported by great names such as Thomas Pownell, Benjamin Franklin, and General Edward Braddock.

Four engraved map sheets joined (overall sheet size: 32 4/8 x 49 4/8 inches; 30 2/8 x 48 4/8 inches to the neat line; framed 38 x 56 inches). Fine engraved map of Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson in 1775; with original hand-colour in outline by state, the title within a fine rococo cartouche with historically important vignette of a dockside tobacco trading scene lower right, with a dedication below the cartouche: "To the Right Honourable, George Dunk Earl of Halifax First Lord Commissioner; and to the Rest of the Right Honourable and Honourable Commissioners, for Trade and Plantations. This Map is most humbly Inscribed to their Lordships, By their Lordship's Most Obedient & most devoted humble Servt. Thos. Jefferys", distances and directions upper left derived by J. Dalrymple in 1755, survey lines are noted and explained, large compass rose centre right (some restoration to margins and other small losses). The Fry - Jefferson map of the broad area known as Virginia is the fundamental cartographic document of the region from the 18th century. The first map to focus on Virginia was Captain John Smith's of 1612, but after that early and primitive attempt to delineate the area, no exhaustive study was made for over a century. This basic lack was first confronted by the team of Peter Jefferson -- also known as the father of Thomas Jefferson -- and Joshua Fry. The two men were commissioned by the Virginia legislature after a 1751 mandate, issued by the English Lords of Trade, required each colony to produce an adequate survey of the region. Fry's expertise as master of mathematics at William and Mary, and Jefferson's as a surveyor, earned them the honor of being selected to compile the Virginia map. The result of the ambitious collaboration between the two men was the most accurate, comprehensive, and complete project in the history of Virginia mapping. The Fry - Jefferson map was the first to delineate the interior regions of Virginia beyond the Tidewater, and included all the major plantations along Virginia's rivers by family name. It was the first printed map to depict the valleys of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain ranges of the western interior, and to show the complete Virginia river system. The striking cartouche at the lower right is one of the earliest surviving pictorial representations of the Virginia tobacco trade, and a testament to the fact that Fry and Jefferson ensured the same quality in the map's artwork as in its cartography. Historically, this is the most valuable and influential early map of Virginia. This particular example was included in Thomas Jefferys' "American Atlas," published in London in 1776 (though the map itself bears the date of 1775). Verner State 7.…
