Best.-Nr. 8772London: R. Morden and W. Berry at the Atlas in Cornhill and at the Globe between Charing-Cross and White-Hall. c.1675-88. No binding. Good. 200 x 175 mm. early outline colour with extended margin to the right side two minor centrefold splits either side otherwise in good condition. An extremely rare sea chart of the English Channel and North Sea engraved by Francis Lamb. A first state with typographic side panels including keys to the letters on the map survives bound into an undated example of Robert Morden's 'Geography Rectified' in the British Library Maps C.39.a.11 dated to c.1687. The left side is keyed to the English coast the right side keyed to the Dutch coast. However the address of William Berry in the title is for the premises occupied between 1672 and 1676. ""Two of the most active publishers and mapsellers in London during the end of the seventeenth century were Robert Morden fl. 1669-d.1703 and William Berry 1639-1718. At the beginning of their careers it appears they worked in partnership. The 'Term Catalogues' detail publications together between 1673 and 1677. Most early records including those of the diarist Samuel Pepys refer to their activity in the production of globes. The last known evidence of a partnership was their petition to the crown in September 1678 for a licence to produce a folio atlas of the world in an 'alphabeticall manner'. This would become the sole production of Berry. Morden and Berry would both sell Richard Daniel's map of c.1679. Morden began with a shop shortly after the Great Fire of 1666. His reputation is underrated indeed Worms describes him as 'a prolific and inventive map maker whose critical reputation despite a string of innovations remains undeservedly low' Burden. The atlas contains maps first printed in the 1680 edition of Morden's 'Geography Rectified'. In 1688 a new edition was published with a new series of copper plate maps. A further clue to the date of issue of this second state might be another very similar map engraved by Herman Moll entitled 'A New Map of the Sea Coast of England Holland & France' by John Taylor and Thomas Newbery which is dated 22 October 1688 BL Maps 1068.7. The date is significant for this is the year of the Glorious Revolution in England when William Prince of Orange was invited to England to take the throne as William III. In October William had made his first attempt to sail to England only to be turned back by inclement weather. He finally arrived at Torbay on 5 November 1688. This Morden and Berry map undated in the first state is here dated 1688 for similar reasons. This second state has had the two side keys engraved on the map itself in doing so the previous title has had to be re-engraved and slightly re-worded. The key to the Dutch coast replaces the scale which is re-engraved at the top of the map. Likewise the rhumb lines appear to have been either erased or worn with use. This second state is found in an example of 'Twenty four New and Accurate Maps of the several Parts of Europe' 1707 bound with Robert Morden's 'Fifty Six New and Accurate Maps' of the English Counties' in the British Library Maps C.24.b.25. The addition of 'Pag. 77' upper right has not been linked to any known work. Provenance: private English collection. Baynton-Williams 'MapForum' no. 13 'Collation Hermann Moll's 'Maps of the Several Parts of Europe''; Burden 2007 431; Shirley BL T.Moll 2a no. 24 & T.Mord 2b no. 3; Worms & Baynton-Williams 2011. R. Morden and W. Berry at the Atlas in Cornhill and at the Globe between Charing-Cross and White-Hall. c.1675-[88] unknown
Best.-Nr. 7758London: William Berry at ye Sign of the Globe between Charing Cross and Whitehall. 1680. No binding. Good. 575 x 885 mm. two sheets joined in early outline colour some professional repair to edge tears and reinforcement to lower corners not affecting the image with the accompanying page of geographical tables otherwise in good condition. A fine rare English double-hemispheric seventeenth century world map. In September 1678 Robert Morden fl. 1669 d. 1703 and William Berry 1639-1718 petitioned the crown for 'a licence to do all general and particular maps of the several parts of the world according to an alphabeticall manner'. Morden's connection with what appears to be the birth of the folio atlas is not heard of again. Berry began publishing a series of large two sheet maps with a group of the world and continents advertised in the 'London Gazette' from 1-5 July 1680. The world is also announced in the 'Term Catalogues' for the summer of that year. This only mentions the world map which would undoubtedly have been finished first and the continents would have followed. Berry did not advertise his next two sheet map that of England until February 1682. 'Through the 1680s Berry published nearly forty large maps of parts of the world sufficient to cover it all. From the late 1680s he clearly offered them bound together as a collection of maps as a handful of examples are known but this was clearly not the intention for the maps as none have borne any title page. Examples are known in the British Library the Library of Congress and the National Maritime Museum Greenwich all bearing either thirty-seven or thirty-eight maps. An example has been noted for sale by Maggs Brothers which bore sixty-nine maps the balance being made up of contemporary English maps by other cartographers dating the atlas to c.1704 and two further offered at Christies auctions in London in the 1980s' Burden. Cartographically the world map is drawn directly from that of Alexis-Hubert Jaillot 1674. Jaillot's map was in turn derived from Nicolas Sanson's geography who is here recognised in the running title above 'Described by Sanson Corrected and amended By William Berry'. Sanson had far more of a reputation in cartographic circles than Jaillot so it is natural that Berry would use his name. These 'amendments' include the patriotically named islands off Tierra del Fuego and 'New Albion' placed in California. New Guinea is distinctly an island and there is no southern continent. An ornate cartouche lower centre includes an effusive dedication to Charles II.
