SPEED John; Jodocus Hondius engr.
Kent with her Cities and Earles described and observed.
The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain. T Bassett & R Chiswell. 1676. Copper engraving. Hand coloured. Very good condition. Sheet size: 395 x 510 mm. Mount size: 590 x 705 mm A beautiful map of Kent based on the work of Philip Symonson. Insets of the cathedral cities of Canterbury and Rochester and seven coats of arms. Due to Kent's extensive coastline and proximity to France and the Netherlands it had unrivalled advantages for trade thus making its defence imperative. Dover Castle had long been a linchpin in the defence of the realm but most other castles in Kent were made redundant when a series of modern artillery forts like Deal and Walmer were constructed in the 1540's by Henry VIII. These were to protect the anchorage of the Downs which the Navy had recently taken to using. The adoption of other fleet-anchorages along the Thames and the Medway and the establishment of dockyards at Deptford and Woolwich by Henry VIII and at Chatham by Elizabeth I turned Kent into the best defended area in the kingdom throughout the Tudor and early Stuart periods.

Speed John:
Merionethshire
London: Basset & Chiswell 1676. Copper engraving 39 x 51.5 cms recent hand-colour inset town-plan of Harlech light waterstaining to the upper part of the map English text on verso. John Speed 1552-1629 is unquestionably the most significant English map-maker of the seventeenth-century. A brief note from Granger's Bibliographical History of England 1779 contains most of the information we have about Speed's life: "John Speed who was bred a Tailor was by the generosity of Sir Fulk Grevil his patron set free from a manual employment and enabled to pursue his studies to which he was strongly inclined by the bent of his genius. The fruits of them were his Theatre of Great Britain containing an entire set of maps of the counties drawn by himself his History of Great Britain richly adorned with seals coins & medals from the Cotton collection; and his Genealogies of Scripture first bound up with the Bible in 1611 which was the first edition of the present English translation. His maps were very justly esteemed & his History of Great Britain was in its kind incomparably more complete than all the histories of his predecessors put together ." The first edition of Speed's "Theatre" was published in 1612. It was the first atlas of the British Isles and the first attempt made by an Englishman to match the achievements of the great continental publishing houses - although much of the engraving of the copper plates was performed in Amsterdam by Jodocus Hondius. Speed was an antiquary and intended that his atlas should be read in conjunction with his history of Britain. He managed to include a great deal of historical detail on his 'modern' county maps and the inset town plans some surveyed by himself together comprise the first collection of town plans of the British Isles all in all making the Theatre a highly decorative as well as a useful volume. It was a great success and there were editions printed throughout the seventeenth-century. Map Basset & Chiswell unknown

Double-page engraved map fine contemporary outline hand colour upper left and right margins skilfully repaired margins reinforced with japan paper. The map bears the imprint of Roger Rea the Elder and Younger. The Reas had purchased the rights to Speed's work from William Garrett in 1589 who had previously purchased them from the widow of William Humble in the same year. Skelton suggests that the father and son intended a new edition of the atlas for the Restoration of 1660. However the atlas would appear not to have been published until 1665. This is borne out by an advertisement in the Term Catalogue by the subsequent owners of the plates Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell in 1675:"Mr John Speed's. Geography of the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland. together with his Prospect. all in one entire Volume hath been for seven Years past out of Print the greatest part of an Impression then newly Printed being destroyed by the late dreadful Fire 1666". This is borne out by the rarity of the Rea edition of the atlas. There is evidence that they planned an edition of 1666 as there are impressions of Sussex Buckingham and Derby with Rea's imprint which bear that date. Rea would later sell the plates to Bassett and Chiswell who would publish a new edition in 1676. to be sold by Roger Rea the Elder and younger at the Golden Crosse in Cornhill against ye Exchange, unknown

SPEED John
The Countie Westmorland And Kendale the Cheif Towne Described
London: to be sold by Roger Rea the Elder ad younger at the Golden Crosse in Cornhill against the Exchange. 1665. With the Armes of such Nobles as have bene Earles of either of them. 1665. Double-page engraved map fine contemporary outline hand colour upper left and right margins skilfully repaired margins reinforced with japan paper. The map bears the imprint of Roger Rea the Elder and Younger. The Reas had purchased the rights to Speed's work form William Garrett in 1589 who had previously purchased them from the widow of William Humble in the same year. Skelton suggests that the father and son intended a new edition of the atlas for the Restoration of 1660. However the atlas would appear not to have been published until 1665. This is borne out by an advertisement in the Term Catalogue by the subsequent owners of the plates Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell in 1675:"Mr John Speed's. Geography of the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland. together with his Prospect. all in one entire Volume hath been for seven Years past out of Print the greatest part of an Impression then newly Printed being destroyed by the late dreadful Fire 1666". This is borne out by the rarity of the Rea edition of the atlas. There is evidence that they planned an edition of 1666 as there are impressions of Sussex Buckingham and Derby with Rea's imprint which bear that date. Rea would later sell the plates to Bassett and Chiswell who would publish a new edition in 1676. to be sold by Roger Rea the Elder ad younger at the Golden Crosse in Cornhill against the Exchange. unknown
