No binding. 540 x 370 mm., in fine early wash colour and in good condition. Robert Sayer was active from 1745 and was joined in partnership by John Bennett in 1774. Their early works were derived from maps acquired from the late Thomas Jefferys. One of their most significant productions was the 'East India Pilot' which was advertised in 1775 as being 'in great forwardness for publication'. This chart of the Nicobar Islands bears an inset of "A particular Plan of the Harbour Comprized between the Isles Nacaveri, Souri & Tricutte". Shirley BL Atlases M.Say-3a no. 62; NMM 417 no. 29.

Titlepage, 2pp. dedication to "Gov. Pownall," 2pp. "Advertisement," 1p. "List of maps"; and six folding engraved maps, all hand-colored in outline. The "Holster Atlas" was issued at the suggestion of Gov. George Pownall and included the "maps that the British high command regarded as providing essential topographical information in the most convenient form" (Schwartz & Ehrenberg). This collection of maps was published by Sayer and Bennet at the beginning of the Revolution for the use of British officers. "Surveys and Topographical Charts being fit only for a Library, such maps as an Officer may take with him into the Field have been much wanted. The following Collection forms a Portable Atlas of North America, calculated in its Bulk and Price to suit the Pockets of Officers of all Ranks" (Advertisement). Although the publishers claimed the atlas would fit into an officer's pocket, it was more usually carried in a holster and thus gained its nickname. The six maps are as follows: 1) Dunn, Samuel: North America, as divided amongst the European Powers. London: printed for Robt. Sayer, Jan. 10, 1774. Engraved map, handcolored in outline, 13¾ x 19 inches. 2) Dunn, Samuel A Compleat Map of the West Indies, containing the coasts of Florida, Louisiana, New Spain and Terra Firma: with all the islands.

The map was issued in two states and is included here in its appropriate (and preferred) second state, illustrating the very first battle fought by the U.S. Navy: the Battle of Valcour Island, which transpired near present-day Plattsburgh, New York. Also included is an inset illustrating America's first naval battle, in which General Benedict Arnold, though forced back down the lake, was able to delay the British attempt to descend to the Hudson for that year. No mention, of course, is made of Ethan Allen's taking of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775. An important collection of Revolutionary-era American maps.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Sayer-Bennet-Mead s 1775 detailed chart of the Western Hemisphere with Pacific and Arctic routes of exploration. Details Key points: 1. Braddock Mead s A Chart of North and South America encapsulates the finest qualities of mapmaking in the second half of the 18th century, presenting a remarkable wealth of information. 2. The map was first issued in 1753, and one of its most important features was a repudiation of ideas put forth in an influential 1752 map by French mapmakers De L Isle and Buache. 3. Our issue was published in 1775 and the revisions are a fascinating mix of improved geography (e.g. the great rivers of North America), and new cartographic myths, (e.g. the rendition of Alaska as an island). 4. The map is also interesting from a political perspective, being a bold statement of Great Britain s North American territorial claims the irony of course being that the map was published in the earliest days of the Revolutionary War.

A very fine example of the rare 'Holster Atlas', ''calculated in its bulk to suit the pockets of Officers of all Ranks''. The atlas was created on the suggestion of Sir George Pownall, Governor of Massachusetts 1757-60, to whom it is dedicated; two of the maps are based on his work. The six maps it contains are regarded as particularly important to the mapping of the American Revolution because they represent the knowledge of the terrain the British based their strategies on. The final map is the first separately published map of Lake Champlain. The maps are: ''North America, as Divided amongst the European Powers. By Samuel Dunn, Mathematician''; ''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 ''; ''A General Map of the Middle British Colonies, in America. Containing Virginia, Maryland, the Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. With the addition of New York, and of the Greatest Part of New England, as also of the Bordering Parts of the Province of Quebec, improved from several Surveys made after the late War, and Corrected from Governor Pownall's Late Map 1776''; ''A General Map of the Southern British Colonies, in America. Comprehending North and South Carolina, Georgia, East and West Florida, with the Neighbouring Indian Countries. From the Modern Surveys of Engineer de Brahm, Capt. Collet, Mouzon & Others; and from the Large Hydrographical Survey of the Coasts of East and West Florida. By B. Romans, 1776''; and ''A Survey of Lake Champlain, including Lake George, Crown Point and St. John.
