London,: Alexander Dalrymple,, Dec.r 10, 1771. 555 by 795mm. (21.75 by 31.25 inches).. Maps,""The Sooloo Archipelago, The Sulu Archipelago Engraved chart. Navigable chart of the, present-day, Sulu Archipelago, northeast of Borneo, with two smaller inset charts of """"Sooloo Road"""" and """"Toolyan Bay"""" by James Rennel. As early as April 1766, Dalrymple had approached the EIC with the idea of issuing a series of uniform charts of Borneo, Palawan, Mindanao, and Sulu, that would help to promote his plan of creating a trading settlement on the island of Balambangan. The charts would be based on his own observations made during his two voyages to the area. In 1769 the EIC issued Dalrymple with a grant to support his project, which resulted in 'A collection of Charts and Memoirs' (1772). """"Graduated & Engraved by B. Henry. The Hills Etched by D. Lerpeniere. The Writing Engraved by W. Whitchurch, Bartholomew Lane R.l Exchange, London"""", the chart was included in Dalrymple's rare pilot 'General… Read More

Description:
London,: Published as the Act directs for William Daniell No.9 Cleveland Street Fitzroy Square,, Aug. 15, 1802.. Image: 388 by 770mm (15.25 by 30.25 inches). Sheet: 490 by 824mm (19.25 by 32.5 inches).. Aquatint. A further view of George Dance the Younger's suggestions for the Port of London, suggesting a determination to keep the scheme alive. Dance's daring plans aroused much public interest, and a painter named R.C. Andrews displayed the design as a painted panorama for view in Sadler's Wells Theatre. Daniell produced both prints and a painting (now in the Guildhall Art Gallery), in which the Thames was transformed into a straighter river with uniform buildings lining the bank to the sides of the bridges. Unfortunately for Dance, his plans were never adopted: estimates of the cost ran to £1,250,000, a spectacular sum. The dedication on this print is to the entire select committee, rather than specifically to Lord Hawkesbury, but it seems to have done him no good. BL Maps K.Top.21.31.2 PORT.11 TAB.

London,: Published as the Act directs, for Geo. Dance Esq. R.A. Upper Gower Street,, 1800.. Image: 320 by 630mm (12.5 by 24.75 inches). Sheet: 380 by 670mm (15 by 26.5 inches).. Engraving with aquatint. William Daniell (1769–1837) was a painter and engraver, specialising in scenery. He often worked with George Dance the Younger (1741-1825), the architect and designer. Dance put forward a set of plans for improvements to the Port of London in his capacity as surveyor to the City, a post inherited from his father. He proposed that there should be two bridges, replacing the current London Bridge, to ease the traffic, linked by a piazza at each end, with monuments in the centre. The existing Monument to the Great Fire of London by Sir Christopher Wren would be retained, and a new naval monument erected on the opposite side. The challenge for the architects submitting designs was that tall river traffic had to pass through the bridge. Most submissions dealt with this by making the arches of the bridge… Read More

Jean François Daumont (fl.1740-1775) was a French printer and publisher. He moved to the Rue St Martin address in 1768, so the print can be dated after then and before the end of his career. Ralph Hyde identifies another copy with the imprint of Jean de Beauvais as another state of the Antoine Aveline's version of his father, Pierre Aveline's view, as described by Scouloudi. It seems probable that this is a another, later state. Ralph Hyde, private notes; Scouloudi p.59.

Paduan astronomer, astrologer and cartographer Giovanni Antonio Magini (1555-1617) was so well respected within the field of mathematics that in 1588 he was chosen for the chair at the University of Bologna over Galileo Galilei. While also serving as official astrologer to the court of the Duke of Mantua, Vincenzo I, he devised his own planetary theory and developed extremely accurate trigonometric tables which were applied to the geometry of spheres. Vincenzo was also the patron of Magini's greatest cartographical project, 'Atlante geografico d'Italia', an atlas that he intended to include a map of every Italian region accompanied by historical notes.

From 1730, he was joined in business by Frederick Harwood, who may have been a cousin. However, by 1843 the company was dissolved and John was once again trading on his own. Since Day and Haghe were neighbours it is not surprising that he should have chosen them to print this lavish production. The… Read More

A plan of Osaka from the second edition of 'Histoire du Japon' by Pierre-François-Xavier de Charlevoix, published in 1754. De Charlevoix (1682-1761) was a French Jesuit missionary and explorer. On his first journey he spent four years in Canada, and his knowledge of the area led the French government to commission him to search for a river routs to the Pacific Ocean in 1720. He explored the Great Lakes and part of the Mississippi, but was shipwrecked near the Bahamas and returned to France. De Charlevoix was an director of the academic journal 'Journal de Trévoux', and in that position initiated a series of histories of non-European countries. This history of the church in Japan was the first instalment.
