Seven Years' War Pocket Atlas Featuring Gibson and Kitchin MapsIn a Nice Contemporary Red Calf BindingFirst published in London during the height of the Seven Years' War, Andrew Dury's miniature atlas served as a portable compendium of world geography for British readers following global military campaigns. The atlas features regional maps with bilingual titles and subtitles in English and French, engraved by prominent London cartographers including John Gibson and Thomas Kitchin.The atlas is especially noted for its coverage of North America, exemplified by Gibson's double-page folding map of Canada. This plate details the contested frontier of the French and Indian War, delineating British and French colonial claims, Indigenous tribal territories (including the Six Nations, Hurons, and Outaouais), and crucial military posts such as Fort Duquesne and Fort Niagara. Mythical features of the interior, such as the imaginary islands of Philippeaux and Pontchartrain in Lake Superior, remain recorded alongside accurate hydrography of the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes basin.Dury published the atlas from his shop in Duke's Court, St. Martin's Lane, offering it in collaboration with major print sellers Robert Sayer and Carington Bowles. Issued in multiple editions (sometimes bound in oblong format) in the 1760s, the work reflects the peak of mid-18th-century London map trade collaboration. The present example, in a compact portable duodecimo format, is particularly nice.With the following maps:The WorldEuropeAsiaEast IndiesAfricaThe West Coast of AfricaNorth AmericaSouth AmericaCanadaWest IndiesGreat Britain & IrelandEnglandScotlandLACKS IRELANDSpainPortugalFrance in GeneralFranceFlandersSwitzerland.

(A few folds at tears, some faint offsetting.) Overall an extremely handsome atlas. A Large, Handsome Faden Composite Atlas With 39 Large Maps, Including 3 Standouts.This composite atlas, a remarkable amalgamation of large-scale maps by the preeminent British cartographers of the late 18th Century, is a testament to the era's cartographic excellence and geopolitical complexities. The atlas incorporates three of the great America-centric maps from the last quarter of the 18th century, Faden's The United States of North America, Speer's Chart of the West Indies, and the Faden-Roberts "Lost Cook Chart".William Faden's The United States of North America (1785) captures the post-Revolutionary War era, delineating the newly defined United States boundaries as established by the Treaty of Paris. Its intricate coloring distinguishes American, British, and Spanish territories, highlighting the strategic Newfoundland coasts and emphasizing French fishing rights. The map's iterative quality, updated continuously by Faden throughout its decades-long publication history, makes it one of the enduring records of the United States' early development.Joseph Smith Speer's Chart of the West Indies from 1774 provides a detailed portrayal of the Caribbean and southeastern North America at the brink of the American Revolution. Speer, a skilled hydrographer, adeptly color-coded territories under various European powers, offering insights into the geopolitical climate of the period and including crucial maritime information.Henry Roberts and William Faden's Chart of the N.W. Coast of America and the N.E. Coast of Asia, in this, its first state, is often referred to as Captain James Cook's "lost chart," which depicts the Northern Pacific Coastlines. It illustrates Cook's discoveries on his revelatory Third Voyage, as well as the territorial reaches of British, Russian, and Spanish explorations.Collectively, these maps narrate the dynamic interplay of national development, exploration, and colonial ambition, reflecting the complexities and transformations of the late 18th century.ContentsThe present atlas has seven 4-sheet maps (Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Black Sea region, Europe, and the Mediterranean). There are also ocean charts, maps of India, a Mercator-style world map that shows the route of Cook s voyages, and many others.1. William Faden.

Contemporary half russia; extremities lightly rubbed, corners bumped. mba004 A fine example, with aristocratic provenance, of Dury's London edition of two wall-maps of North-Western Italy: Borgonio's Carta corografica degli Stati di S.M. il Re di Sardegna and Chaffrion's Carta dela rivera de Genoa. Giovanni Tomasso Borgonio (1620-83) was a Piedmontese military engineer active in the Kingdom of Savoy in the late 1770s and early 1680s, who made a series of important surveys of towns of the region, many published in Blaeu's Town Books of Italy (the Savoy (Sabaudia) volumes, Amsterdam 1682). He is however best known for his remarkable survey of the Kingdom of Sardinia, published as Carta generale de' Stati di S.A.R. in 1680. Josà Chaffrion (1653-98), a Spanish military engineer, was active in Piedmont in the 1680s, producing a fine map of Liguria in 1685. Both are outstanding examples of the surveyors' art, both are very rare in the original printing and both had a huge (and long-term) influence on the cartography of the two regions, neither map really superseded for over a century. When Andrew Dury (d. 1777), a London publisher of French Huguenot extraction, decided to issue maps of these two regions, these were still the best maps available to him - and this London edition catches in full the quality and detail of the originals. The Borgonio map was dedicated to John, Earl of Bute, some-time favourite of and Prime Minister to King George III; however, he enjoyed a spectacular fall from grace when he lost the ear of the king, and the absence, in this copy, of the sheet bearing the dedication to him (which has no map content) may reflect the politics of the day, as there is no evidence of its later removal.

Hertfordshire - Rare large-scale map of Hertfordshire Folio (550 by 400mm), index map, large-scale engraved map, on nine sheets, fine original full-wash colour, plan of Hertford, and plan of St Albans, half-calf over blue marbled paper boards. Andrews's and Dury's large scale map of Hertfordshire. John Andrews and Andrew Dury were responsible for three large scale eighteenth century county surveys: the present map - Hertfordshire 1766 , Kent 1769, and Wiltshire in 1773. All three surveys are on a scale of two inches to one mile. The majority of the large scale maps were on a scale of one inch to one mile. This larger scale allowed for much greater detail; and the map depicts hills, woods and barrows, commons heaths and parks, rivers, ponds and wells, bridges and windmills, churches and chapels, towns, villages and parishes, gentlemen's seats, farms and houses, turnpikes, secondary roads and lanes, county and hundred boundaries. A note on the map reads "NB The Western Part of this County from Chipping Barnet along the North Road was Survey'd by John Andrews, the East Part by Andrew Dury etc". Dury was a London book-seller who probably put up most of the capital for the project. The map, which sold for £1.16s. in sheets, is functional rather than decorative, the title being contained in a simple rectangle. The only decoration is provided by the dedication - a large vignette engraving incorporating a hunting scene with the names of various nobility on a banner in the sky. Although the name of the map's engraves is not given, it could be possibly have been John Cheevers who engraved the town plans that were published by Dury around the same time. …
