Herman Moll's Greatest Atlas -- Extra-Illustrated Example Herman Moll's impressive collection of large-format maps, including two world maps and six maps treating the Americas, here in beautiful copy with the maps exhibiting nice outline color. Herman Moll came to London in the 1680s from Holland and became part of a circle of aggressively British personalities, including the writer Daniel Defoe, and the famous buccaneers William Dampier and Woodes Rogers. In fact, Moll incorporated into his maps some of the geographical information gained through the buccaneers' voyage experiences. This remarkable and important atlas, the first to include two-sheet maps folded into quarters, includes a number of justly famous maps, including Moll's so-called Beaver Map, the first large-scale map to show English developments in North America and the first to show the American postal routes. This map derived its moniker due to its detailed engraved vignette illustrating a beaver colony at work near Niagara Falls. The Beaver map is present here in its 4th state, c. 1731. Moll's map was one of the most important illustrations of the ongoing dispute between France and Great Britain over boundaries separating their respective American colonies. Pritchard and Taliaferro note that "The map was the primary exponent of the British position during the period immediately following the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713." All territory south of the St. Lawrence River and eastern Great Lakes is shown as British. Numerous notations relating to territorial claims, Indian tribes, the fur trade, and the condition of the land cover the face of the map. This map shows the early eighteenth-century postal routes in the British colonies and is frequently called the first American postal map. Susan Schulten elaborates on Moll's other North American map, also present in this atlas, and its role in the continuing cartographic playing out of French and British boundary disputes: [De L'Isle's] map raised the stakes of the geopolitical struggle between Britain and France over control of an American interior. Herman Moll responded with a map of his own. [He had] published a map that depicted the British dominions along the eastern seaboard as strategically positioned relative to the rest of the continent. Moll was thus particularly troubled by de L'Isle's 1718 map, which attempted to limit Britain's territorial sphere. He responded with the pointedly titled "New Map of the North Parts of America Claimed by France." The very title of the map hints at Moll's sense of disbelief.His map dripped with sarcasm.In characterizing de L'Isle's map as propaganda, Moll aimed both to challenge French claims and to fortify British settlements beyond the seaboard - Susan Shulten, A History of America in 100 Maps, page 68. In lieu of a title-page, the present atlas contains the publisher John Bowles's broadside advertisement for The World Described. Other copies of the atlas are recorded with a similar treatment (cf. for example OCLC No. 49408613). The detailed letterpress broadside is trimmed and tipped to the front pastedown endpaper. The advertisement lists thirty maps, all present in the atlas in hand, which also contains . Book.

Contemporary green paper boards expertly rebacked in green calf. Spine with 6 gilt-tooled raised bands, title lettered in gilt on maroon leather label in 2nd compartment, blind motifs in remaining. , Herman Moll (British, mid-17th century ? 1732) is best known for his cartographic work. In 1715, Moll issued ?The World Described,? a collection of 30 large, double-sided maps, which were initially bound separately and then later sold in the form of atlases in a joint venture between a number of publishers. The series included two of the most famous Moll maps: ?A new and exact map of the dominions of the King of Great Britain? and ?To The Right Honorable John Lord Sommers.This Map of North America According To Ye Newest and Most Exact Observations.? These were distinctive for their elaborate cartouches and are known respectively as the Beaver Map and the Codfish Map; the Beaver Map most notably features in its cartouche a colony of industrious beavers hard at work building a dam. As with much of his work, Moll used these maps to publicize and support British policy and regional claims throughout the world; the Beaver Map indeed contributed to the British-French feud between colony boundaries.List of maps present in the atlas:1.
