Engraved map (Sheet: 21 x 25 in.; 53.3 x 63.5 cm) with original handcoloring in outline. CONDITION/BINDING: A few expertly closed tears along centerfold. Floated on a mat and enclosed in mylar. (65B1D) A reissue of the ca. 1695 Morden-Browne map, with the Senex name replacing that of Morden and the royal arms substituted with a cartouche dedicated to Herver Edgly Herver. The map was included in Senex's New General Atlas of the World published in 1721. "The unique features of the map are the extensions of the Appalachian Mountain range. A branch extends southwards towards the Mississippi River and north into the Michigan peninsula. The peninsula bears a broad plateau along its length and nearby is stated 'On Top of these Mountains is a Plaine like a Terras Walk aboue 200 miles in length' " (Burden). Both the mountain range and the plain extending into Michigan were purely an example of imagined topography. REFERENCES: Burden 750, state 4; Cumming 172; Stevens & Tree 20b.

Letterpress broadside "A Catalogue of the Maps as they are placed in this Book" pasted inside front cover, and another "A Catalogue of Globes, Maps, &c made by the late John Senex, F.R.S. and continue to be sold by his Widow Mary Senex, at the Globe,." (earliest state mentioning the eclipse of 1738). 34 magnificent engraved maps, including 21 double-page and 13 full-page, each with elaborate allegorical cartouches, and with original hand-colour in outline (one or two creases). Contemporary half calf (quite worn). Provenance: 19th-century South Library bookplate of the Earls of Macclesfield on the front paste-down dated 1860; their sale Macclesfield Library Part Nine: Voyages, Travel and Atlases, 15th March 2007, lot 3283 An important atlas, most commonly attributed to John Senex, which has its genesis in the partnership of Charles Price Sr. and John Senex in 1707. Price was apprenticed to John Seller Sr., and then worked in partnership with his heir Jeremiah Seller, until their partnership ended in bankruptcy in 1706. Latterly Seller and Price worked in association (partnership) with John Senex, from separate addresses. After the bankruptcy, Price joined Senex, and worked from his address "next to the Fleece Tavern in Cornhill". In 1707, the partners announced the "New Sett of Correct Maps" (Daily Courant, 24 September 1707), a series of elephant folio maps, printed on two sheets joined, to be printed as completed, with the intention of making up an atlas of twenty maps, with Price the mapmaker and Senex the engraver. As with many of the atlas projects of this date, the partners were soon in financial trouble, and John Maxwell joined the partnership. Financial woes continued, and this partnership was also dissolved. Price left the partnership, taking some of the map plates, with the rest retained by Senex, to join George Willdey and Timothy Brandreth. Both partners then had new plates engraved to make up a world atlas. Price, Brandreth and Willdey advertised their set of maps in the Post Man on 23-25 August 1711. Senex and Maxwell advertised their atlas in the Spectator for 1 October 1711. Willdey's atlas is appreciably rarer as he seems not to have recovered from the costs of financing his version; Senex, on the other hand, survived the start-up costs, and his atlas, sometimes referred to as 'The English Atlas', prospered, re-issued by Senex and then his widow Mary Senex into the 1740s, and by the Bowles family, and partners, in the 1750s. Once Maxwell left the partnership, Senex gradually removed existing references to his ex-partners, and following his election to the Royal Society in 1728, added the initials "F.R.S." to his name on various of the maps. This copy of the Price-Senex atlas is in the mature form attained post-1728, notoriously difficult to date after that point. From the celebrated library of the Earls of Macclesfield at Shirburn Castle, Oxfordshire, England, accumulated from the early 18th century by generations of of the Parker family, and sold (over successive sales) by Sothebys. The first Earl of Macclesfield was Thomas Parker, 1st Baron Parker, made Viscount Parker, of Ewelm in the County of Oxford, and Earl of Macclesfield, in the County Palatine of Chester in 1716. He was Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench from 1710 to 1718 and Lord High Chancellor from 1718 to 1725. Probably acquired by Thomas Augustus Wolstenholme Parker, 6th Earl of Macclesfield (17 March 1811 - 24 July 1896) Conservative Member of Parliament for Oxfordshire from 1837 until 1841.Armitage 145.

Folio (28 x 13 inches). Letterpress "Catalogue" listing 34 items laid down on the recto of the second blank, "A Catalogue of Globes, Maps, &c. made by the late John Senex, F.R.S" recording the eclipse of February 1736-7 (frayed at outer edges, lightly soiled and with edges renewed). 34 engraved maps, including 13 full-page and Ancient Greece bound as two sheets, the others double-page, all accept the astronomical chart with contemporary hand-colour in full (lower edges extensively repaired, each map laid down on archival tissue).

However, both the World and North Americas are in the first state to acknowledge Senex's election to the Royal Society, retaining the delineation of California as an island. Both maps were subsequently re-engraved with California re- attached to the mainland, and the North America with Georgia marked; either the atlas was made up with old paper stock or assembled rather earlier than the catalogue would indicate.

"THE MOST ELEGANT ENGLISH ATLAS OF ALL TIME" (Worms) First edition. Of the maps in the "New General Atlas", ten are apparently new plates (Europe; Moscovy; Amsterdam; France; Sicily; England; Ireland; India; Africa; Louisiana); two originated with Morden (English Empire in America; Golden Islands & Darien, the latter engraved by Moll), the first map of France also possibly, eight from Browne's stock (Denmark; Scandinavia; Spain; Rome; Bernard Randolph's Greece; Virginia; West Indies and Scotland, this latter commenced by Morden and completed by Browne), and possibly also the Spanish Netherlands, Switzerland and Savoy. Of the maps of uncertain attribution five are engraved by John Harris, who worked both for Morden and Browne (Poland; Italy; Savoy; Hungary; America), and one by Samuel Parker (London), and eight without any attribution at all (World; Germany; United Provinces; Spanish Netherlands; France; Switzerland; Asia; Turkey). Including many important maps relating to America: "New Map of the World"; "Virginia, Maryland, and the improved parts of Pennsylvania & New Jersey"; "The English Empire in the Ocean of America or West Indies"; "Louisiana and of the River Mississipi"; and the "Isthmus of Darien in America". Bookseller, publisher and maker of maps and globes, Senex was "long concerned in the production of maps and atlases. Between 1707 and 1711 he worked with Price (and later Maxwell) on a large atlas series, issuing in 1707 broadside 'Proposals for a new sett of correct mapps' advertising the partners as 'Geographers to the Queen' and promising work that 'shall in correctness, and all other particulars, far exceed any yet done'. Senex and Price subsequently went their separate ways but Senex at length produced (with Maxwell) an augmented version of these maps as "The English Atlas" (1714), the bulk of the work engraved by himself. His portable version of the road maps of John Ogilby, published as "An Actual Survey of All the Principal Roads of England and Wales" in 1719, was a popular success, staying in print for many years, while his "A New General Atlas" (1721) remains the most elegant English world atlas of the time. "The Atlas maritimus & commercialis" (1728), a work to which Halley lent his assistance and the text for which is said to have been written by Defoe, featured maps drawn on a new 'globular' projection patented in 1721, which Senex had himself devised in association with John Harris and Henry Wilson.

Copper-engraved map by Samuel Parker, with full modern colour, skillfully repaired split at top of centerfold, overall in very good condition. A fascinating, highly detailed map of London by one of the leading English cartographers of the period. This is an excellent parish by parish, block by block map of the London that was built after the Great Fire of 1666. (St. Paul's was completed in 1710). The map includes an index that locates the 87 parishes in London and Westminster, and eight in Southwark. Many parishes had new churches built between the years 1670 and 1711, 52 of which were designed and executed by Christopher Wren. Samuel Parker, the engraver, did a superb job of drawing and engraving so that minute details of the city's topography are shown. The attractive cartouche includes symbols of London's greatness: two cornucopeias, one of fruit and one of precious metal objects and jewels. At the base is a picture of a king, presumably George I, whose sword and scepter are supported by two dragons. To the sides and behind these are symbols of British cultural and mercantile superiority. The map is dedicated to Sir Peter Delme, a very wealthy and powerful gentleman, one of the first residents of Grosvenor Square, and, for a time, Lord Mayor.

Engraved with contemporary outline color, small marginal tears. Large, handsome and interesting map of Russia at the time of Peter the Great. An attractive double folio sized map of European Russia by the great English cartographer, John Senex (1678-1740). Russia was continually expanding during this period in virtually every direction, though the expansion westward was always more costly. The map notes "Petersburg," which was Peter the Great's most prized accomplishment, giving Russia access to the Baltic and a new, more "European" capital. There would ultimately be more territory added to the northwestern boundary, which was won after years of struggle with Sweden and the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth. The map extends to the Sea of Azov in the south to include Ukraine, called here "Ukraine Land of the Cosaques" and several regions farther south and east called "Cosaques Zaporoski" and "Cosaques Donski." The map was made during the reign of Peter the Great, who, while the country was growing territorially, advanced European ideas and manners, despite the recalcitrant Orthodox hierarchy. The very idea of nationhood was new to Russia and the country in a generally reluctant way began to modernise. Nevertheless, the map notes the location of many monasteries, which indicates how important and pervasive the old religion was. Senex also provides interesting historical notes, for example, "Deserts where are the ruins of many Citys (sic) and Towns destroyed by Tamerlan" not far from the Volga River.

Copper-engraved map, with original outline colour. A highly-important and finely-drafted map of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware by a great English cartographer. This very elegant map is centered on Chesapeake Bay, and embraces all of the territory from Norfolk, Virginia up past Philadelphia in the north. Its antecedent was Augustine Herrman's 1673 manuscript map, which was first printed by Christopher Browne in 1685. Senex devised his own version of the map in 1719, and included it in his New General Atlas of 1721. The Browne map is extremely rare, making the present map the earliest reasonably obtainable example of this critical map. This map is one of the first of the subject to be oriented with the north on the top, and demonstrates that the geography of the region was by this time very well understood. The long-established provinces of Virginia and Maryland dominate the map, and in the north is the relatively new colony of Pennsylvania, founded by William Penn in 1681. Delaware is shown to be at this time still an appendage of Pennsylvania, known as the 'Lower Counties' of Penn's Grant. New Jersey is shown to be divided into East and West Jersey. An elegant Baroque title cartouche adorns the upper left corner.

Single sheet (19 x 22 inches to the neat-line, full margins showing the plate-mark). A fine engraved map showing North and South America with original hand-colour in outline, the title within an elaborate cartouche illustrated with vignettes reminiscent of the illustrations to de Bry's "Great Voyages". An attractive and unusual map: one of the few English maps to show California as an island, in this case based on the information in Sanson's map "Amerique Septentrionale" of 1650 misconception which persisted on and off until 1747; and with a spurious northwest coastline and internal lakes including "The Great Lake of Thoago or Thoya". Senex, who issued a series of atlases with John Maxwell and Charles Price, was one of the most successful mapmakers during the golden age of English cartography. In recognition of his work he was appointed Geographer to Queen Anne, and elected to the Royal Society in 1728. His beautiful maps are famed for their meticulous detail and ornate cartouches, and they remain some of the best examples of eighteenth-century English mapmaking. McLaughlin 193; Tooley p. 130; 81.
