Original outline colour; short tear to lower edge of bottom margin, repaired, signs of old folds (pre-publication) on verso, light marginal spotting, otherwise a very good example.
A fine and detailed map of Bedfordshire. Published by John Hinton (1st state).

In 1755 or 1756 Tinney was joined in a partnership by Thomas Bowles, John Bowles and Son and Robert Sayer. 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. This map is an early example and a pre-complete atlas issue.

This is a landmark map, being the first printed record of the discoveries made by the Dutch ship "Dufken" on route to Cape York in Australia, despite the 27 years that had passed since the voyage! The Dutch East India Company suppressed the knowledge of the discoveries until it was learned how profitable Australia would be, but it is believed it was leaked from the Blaeu firm, the official cartographers to the Company. Two years later Blaeu issued his version, but it must have been galling to have known the secrets for nearly thirty years and be beaten to publication by his fiercest rival.

This map of the world was the second modern world map in Fries' Ptolemaic atlas. It is a reduced version of the Waldseemüller map originally published in 1513, but lacks the criss-cross directional lines and shows only parts of the Americas to the very west of the map. Fries has added five throned effigies of kings, representing those of Russia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Taprobana and Mursuli. There is also an elephant, or possibly a mammouth placed just off the coast of Greenland. The editor of this edition, Michael Villanovanus, better known as Servetus, was tried for heresy in 1553. He was executed and many copies of this book and others by him were burned by order of Calvin. The woodcut borders and ornaments are said to be the work of Hans Holbein.
