BUNNEY & GOLD.
Chart of the Island of Newfoundland.
London, Bunney & Gold, 1801. 375 x 330.Uncoloured; old folds from a smaller volume, short tear to fold at right hand margin, light print offset, trimmed close at right hand edge by binder, with just enough paper to facilitate framing, otherwise a good example.
A detailed map of Newfoundland probably published in the 'The Naval Chronicle'. Kershaw 'Early Printed Maps of Canada vol II' states in entry 562 the Bunney & Gold chart 1802, with the the publication date printed along the bottom edge of the border as Nov. 1st 1802 (I think this might be an error). This example has the date 1801. He further states - Although the engraving is a very close copy of the segment of the DesBarres chart containing just Newfoundland, close inspection shows that this is an entirely new plate. KERSHAW: Entry 562. Plate 404.

The Strömsholm Canal runs from Smedjebacken to Lake Mälaren near Strömsholm. It is 62 miles long with 26 locks. It consists of a string of lakes connected by short manmade cuts. The canal took 18 years to build, between 1772 and 1795, to plans laid out by Johan Ullström. The main reason for it was the transport of iron produced by the many steelworks sited along the length of the waterway. The opening of the Stockholm Wästerås-Bergslagen railway marked the beginning of its decline and today the restored canal is only used by pleasure craft.

The Countie Palatine of Lancaster Described and Divided into Hundreds 1610.
London, John Sudbury & George Humble, 1610-12, FIRST EDITION. 385 x 515.Uncoloured; very light marginal age-toning, short tear to lower margin (repaired) short split to centrefold in lower margin, minor spotting and very light water stain to edge of lower margin, otherwise a superb dark example.
Although most of the detail of Speed's map is copied from Saxton, Whitaker writes that this was the first map of Lancashire to show the hundreds, and that the inset was probably the first printed town plan of Lancaster (copied by Braun and Hogenberg in 1618). On the left side of the map are four portraits of Lancastrian kings (Henrys IV to VII); on the right are three Yorkish Kings (Richard III and Edwards IV & V) and a portrait of Elizabeth of York, who united the families by marrying Henry VII. Unusually for the early editions, Lancashire only has Humble's name in the imprint, spelt "Humbell", although the map was published by both him and Sudbury. WHITAKER: 21; CHUBB: XXII; SKELTON: 7.
