Their imprint was to be added to the new maps for publication in 1758, although any book production still lacked a title-page. John Tinney died in 1761 and it wasn't until 1762 that the atlas was finally completed together with the title-page with his name omitted.

SAXTON, Christopher - WEB, William.
An Exact map of Darbieshire Anno: 1.6.4.2.
London, 1645. 400 x 490.
Uncoloured; top margin trimmed off by binder to edge of printed border and now expertly reinstated with old paper, light spotting, a pin hole in the right margin, probably caused by rust, overall a good example.
Examples of William Web's edition of Saxton's maps are extremely rare. In most cases only minor engraved alterations were made to the plate. On this one of Derbyshire the arms of Elizabeth (lion and griffin) have been replaced with the arms of Charles I (lion and unicorn). The title is now in English with the amended date of 1642. Precisely why there was a three year delay in publishing Web's atlas is speculative, however at this time England was in turmoil with 1642 seeing the preparations for war, and then in 1645 Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell defeated Charles I at Naseby. RARE. LAWRENCE: pp. 45 - 49.
