335 x 480 mm., with three small wormholes, otherwise in very good condition with wide margins. William Smith (1546-1618) was an antiquary and an officer of the College of Arms. The twelve maps by William Smith were for years known famously as those of the ANONYMOUS map maker. Although ten of them are derived from those of Christopher Saxton and two from John Norden they are no mere slavish copies. Smith sought local knowledge to improve on earlier works, much of which was incorporated into his maps. One such correspondent called William Burton provides the only firm evidence we have that the engraver of the plates was Jodocus Hondius. In 1958 the British Museum acquired four manuscript maps from the Netherlands which provided the conclusive evidence of the authorship of William Smith. These were of Cheshire, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. The name of Hans Woutneel, a Dutch bookseller in London, can be found in connection with two of the maps, but only on one engraved, that of Essex dated 1602. This has led to speculation that his departure from the project, Hondius' departure to work on the copper plates for the atlas of John Speed, or the latter's imminent production were sufficient to end the series. The maps of William Smith beautifully engraved by Hondius remain one of the most desirable of any English county maps. Those in the first state are VIRTUALLY UNOBTAINABLE.Peter Stent died from the plague 29 September 1665 and bequeathed his estate to his wife Susanna, shortly after it was sold to John Overton the printseller. Stent's stock was arguably the largest collection of prints on the market at the time. Amongst this he found twelve copper plates of the English counties by William Smith. These formed the nucleus of a set of maps of the English Counties. Those counties which Overton could not provide from his own stock were supplied by the acquired maps of Speed, Blaeu or Jansson. These county atlases were an English version of a rich seam of similar Dutch composite atlases published from the mid-seventeenth century. They are exceedingly rare SURVIVING IN JUST FOUR KNOWN EXAMPLES, none complete. Later atlases sold by his son Henry are similarly rare, only seven survive. The fourth state of the map, published by Henry Overton in which several improvements were made. A new English title has replaced the previous Latin one. The imprint of Stent has been removed and that of John Overton has been altered to Henry. The major improvement is the addition of Post Roads in double lines, the Cross roads are depicted with single lines. An asterisk now marks towns which send members to Parliament and a number of villages and coastal lighthouses are added. Provenance: private English collection since 1975. Frostick (2011) 4.4; Hodson (1984-97) 142; Skelton (1970) p. 21 & nos. 3 & 89; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011). …
