Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

London: Printed and Sold by R. Sayer and J. Bennett, 1776. Folio (21 1/2" x 15 3/8", 540mm x 390mm ). 23 maps on 30 sheets (all folding or double-page except one single page) by Henry Mouzon, William Scull, Lewis Evans and others, handcolored in outline, letterpress title and index, map sheets numbered on versos with several misnumbered, maps hinged on guards. Bound in contemporary speckled calf, rebacked, endpapers renewed. On the spine, 6 raised bands, with author/title gilt to morocco in second panel, florettes in other panels. Extremities rubbed, hinges and tail of spine worn. Light browning and faint offsetting affecting six maps (The Banks of Newfoundland, no. 13; Lake Champlain, no. 18; Virginia and Maryland, no. 21; Florida, no. 25; Mississippi, no. 26; and South America, no. 29); minor dampstaining on bottom margins of title, index, and first 7 maps. Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771) was a British cartographer, engraver and publisher, known as "Geographer to the King "(George III). He produced some of the most accurate and detailed maps of North America and the Caribbean in the mid 18th century. This atlas provides a comprehensive record of the thirteen colonies during the Revolutionary War era and includes extensive reconnaissance mapping of French Canada, including Newfoundland. After Jefferys death, Sayer and Bennett came to own his copyright and, doubtless, his plates. In 1775 they issued the first collection of his maps in addition to others', doubtless in response to the commencement of hostilities in April of that year. As tensions rose, demand -- from American and British officers, crucially -- rose with it, not only for the original maps but to more detailed and precise maps of crucial battlegrounds. The 1776 edition is the great setting of the stage for the War of Independence, the preparation of the board on which the game would be played. Provenance: Ingilby (contemporary ownership inscription on title-page) and Dillon/Dunwalke Library (bookplate and shelfmark) Sotheby's New York, 15 June 2006, lot 204 (undesignated consignor). The Clarence Dillon Public Library in Bedminster, NJ, was originally the Crossroads Public Library and was renamed in 1979 after the Clarence and Anne Dillon Dunwalke Trust paid off its mortgage.
