To which the Commodities, Coyns, Weights...of the Chief Places of Traffic in the World....The whole Illustrated with a Variety of Useful and Delightful Maps and Figures. 5 Parts (1. Asia. 2. Africa. 3. Europe. 4. America. 5. Travel).‎

‎London, Printed by T.N. for R. Blome, 1670. Small folio. Cont. full calf. Rebacked. Some heavy scratches to covers. Covers with wear. Privilege, title in red/black, Dedication to Charles II (on verso is the Privilege repeated), Approbation (on verso Index), 113,(5) pp. + 82,(4) pp. + 138,(6) pp. + 56,(2) pp. + 55,(1) pp, 5 large engraved vignettes and 5 large engraved initials. Some tears and repairs to margins, some staining and soiling, mainly marginal. With 25 double-page (of which 9 are folded) engraved maps (the main part signed by the artists Francis Lamb and Wenceslaus Hollar). Some maps strenghtened on verso, some brownspots, some cut close, a few with repaired corners, the map of Spain repaired in 3 corners with some loss of image. A few wormtracts, sometimes browning to foldings.‎

‎First edition with all 5 parts and complete with 25 maps. Although this atlas was never reprinted, the maps were used over the following 25 years in successive editions of Varenius's Cosmography.<br>"In 1667, the first of a new series of maps were engraved for Blome's A Geographical Description....1670. The completed volume was in small folio, and contained 24 maps (plus one duplicated), engraved by Francis Lamb, Thomas Burnford and Wenceslas Hollar). The maps in the atlas, as is clearly stated in the title to each, are copied from the equivalent map, published by the French geographer and mapmaker, Nicolas Sanson, and issued in his Cartes Generales de toutes les Parties du Monde of 1658. Althought this was not an original publication, it is worth pointing out that that this was the first new folio atlas to be published in England since 1627, the year Speed's Prospect Of The Most Famous Parts of the world appeared, which also relied on continental geographical models. Furthermore, this is the first folio (and quite possibly the very first) world atlas wholly engraved, printed and published in England......It would be hard to claim a successful career for Blome, but he occupies a very importent position in the history of the English map-trade of the seventeenth century. He was the first publisher in England for 40 years to prepare a new folio world atlas, the first in over sixty years to publish a new set of (albeit small) folio county maps, the first to seriously plan an illustrated description of London, and the first to plan a series of volumes related to the various Continents of the World."

Frontis, red and black title-page, Dedication page (this dedication unique to 4th impression) to Prince James, Duke, Marquis and earl of Ormonde, Earl of Carrick, Ossory and Brecknock etc by Edmund Foster, Accounts of Subscribers to this work (list for 1st Impression is headed by "Their Sacred Majesties His Royal Highness Prince George of Denmark, Her Royal Highness when Princess Ann of Denmark, His Royal Highness the Duke of Glocester etc", An Explanatory Table of the Names of the Weights and Measures etc, the Arguments and Contents of each book of the Bible (in double columns), double sheet map of the Terrestrial Paradise (or Garden of Eden) and of the Neighbouring Countries (appears to be on the River Tigris in Iraq) with a Brief Discussion of the Travels of the Patriarchs from Adam to Jacob, Contents sheet of the Discourses (chapters) and accompanying sculptures (plates) and maps. Each discourse (Old Testament 1-152, Apocrypha 153-174, New Testament 1-84) has one side of text and is faced by a plate that illustrates the discourse, the plates are printed double sided and many have dedications within the illustration formed by flying juvenile angels carrying open scrolls with relevant text (eg Plate 2, The Creation of Adam has "To Her Sacred Majesty Mary by the Grace of God, Queen of England, Scotland, France and Ireland. This plate in all humility is humbly dedicated by Yo. Matys. Subject, Richard Blome"; Plate 3, the Fall of Adam has "To Her Sacred Majesty Katharine Queen Dowager of England. This Plate."; Plate 4, the Fall of Adam, has "To Her Majesty Ann by the Grace of God Queen of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, defender of the Faith etc"). followed by Lives, travels, Sufferings of Apostles and Historical Chronology. The front cover is detached, the rear cover is almost detached, there is loss of leather on the spine (approx 1cm at top and 4cm at bottom), corners are worn. The front end-paper is creased with ball-pont "21.0" in top corner. Front endpaper, frontis. and title-page are joined together but detached from the front cover and the main text block . Title-page and frontis both have short tears (approx 1cm) mended with paper in the bottom margin. The titlepage has a signature and date 1740 at top and also in later script "Robt K.te Trin: Coll: Camb:". Discourse 2 text (Creation of Man and Formation of Woman) is torn across diagonally with paper mend at inner and top margins and has a small area of loss in the outer margin, Plate 17/18 (Sodom Burnt and Abinelech afflicted by God) has been torn across the bottom corner and is repaired by paper in the margins. A few other occasional pages have short tears in the margins (approx 1cm length) which generally have been repaired by paper. The text pages are bright and white, the plates are a little darker, some more than others, but are clear and clean. Very large and heavy volume, will incur additional delivery charges, these will be significant to destinations outside of the UK. Good.‎

‎RICHARD BLOME:‎

‎Britannia: or, a Geographical Description of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, with the Isles and Territories thereto belonging.‎

‎London: Printed by Tho. Roycroft for the Undertaker, Richard Blome, 1673. First edition (hardback). 4to (33cm by 21cm), [xiv], 464pp, 2pp list of Benefactors. This copy has an engraved extra title and 24 plates of engraved coats of arms (a total of 808 images), but it lacks all the maps. Recently rebound in half brown calf, marbled paper-covered boards, gilt titling and some gilt decoration to the spine. Some minor spotting and age-toning of the contents, but this copy is in very good condition overall. A couple of engraved plates (one of Dover, one of Alnwick Castle) have been bound in; these are undated but I would judge them to be 18th century.‎
