COMPOSITE ATLAS. A Collection of 62 maps and plans of Great Britain. [circa 1760].
2° (525 x 350mm.). Atlas of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, comprising 62 maps and plans including one map on 6 sheets, 41 with full colour, 4 hand-coloured in outline, most double-page, 14 folding, on guards throughout. (Occasional light browning to some outer margins.) Contemporary half calf, blue and olive morocco lettering pieces in French (corners lightly rubbed).
An interesting composite atlas formed in the early 1760's for a French client, probably through an agent in Paris. It is interesting to note the selection of material relating to the Jacobite Rebellion and the range of English mapmakers who were marketing their maps in France at this period. The maps are ordered by country starting with England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The collection comprises the following maps (not in this order in the atlas):
SCHENK, Pieter and Gerard VALK. 26 hand-coloured maps of the counties of England, North and South Wales, Scotland and the provinces of Ireland. cf Koeman III p.111-112. Most of the maps are the Jansson reissues with the addition of the grid.
Two maps of Great Britain: the COVENS AND MORTIER imprint of De l'Isle's Les Isles Britanniques: the SCHENK reissue of Visscher's Magna Britannia.
Five maps of England and Wales comprising Rocque (1761), Allard with Covens and Mortier imprint, J.B. Homann, G. and L. Valk, Moll (1710, on two sheets, joined, folding); 2 of Scotland by Moll and Schenk, and 4 of Ireland by Moll, Schenk, Homann, and Jeffrys (1759 with listings of barracks overlays).
Hollar's Quartermaster map of England on 6 double-page sheets, the reissue by John ROCQUE, dated 1752. This example lacks the title section and two extension pieces for Lands End and part of the coast at Maplethorpe, Lincolnshire. [Pennington 652-657].
