There is loss to the Faults page bottom corner and p 755 has a corner missing without loss of text. The pages vary from being completely clean to having spotting to having browning. There are occasional water stains to page margins - most usually the bottom margin - occasionally with a pinkish tinge at the page edge. A few pages have small repaired tears without loss.

1676réf. 9394London 1676. No Binding. Near Fine. 14 3/4 x 19 ¼ inches. Fine hand color; wear to bottom of centerfold else fine condition. A very attractive near-mint example. Speed's handsomely engraved work is one of the earliest English maps of the area and one of the first to demarcate the borders of colonial Virginia and Maryland. Just three years before the publication of Speed's map Augustine Herrman had conducted the first thorough surveys of Maryland at the behest of Lord Baltimore. Speed's was one of the first maps to adopt this groundbreaking cartography. However in general outline Speed still followed the prototype of Captain John Smith who conducted the first European survey of Chesapeake Bay. Speed's map "is the last major derivative of the Smith map and it is unique as an example of the transition from one basic prototype map to another. The delineation of the land area follows Smith while the toponymic prototype was the Herrman map of 1673." Verner in Tooley Mapping of America p.170 A particularly important feature derived from Herrman by Speed is the boundary line indicated by a double row of trees between Virginia and Maryland on the Eastern Shore. English text on the verso contains extensive descriptions of Virginia and Maryland. unknown books

réf. 5309London: Sold by Tho:Bassett in Fleetstreet and Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Church Yard. 1627-76. No binding. Very Good. 420 x 560 mm. in full recent wash colour in excellent condition with good margins all round. A very attractive example from the most prestigious English world atlas of the seventeenth century by John Speed 1552-1629. This is Speed's classic representation of the world surrounded by allegorical border depiction's of the four elements. The alignments of the 'Heavens and Elements' 'Figure of the Spheare' and illustrations of a solar and lunar eclipse appear in the four corners. Two attractive hemispheres of the heavens are in the centre and the whole is finished off with roundel portraits of the first four circumnavigators. Speed is the most famous of all the English map-makers. His two most celebrated publications are 'The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain' covering the British Isles first published in 161112 and the 'Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World' first published in 1627. Speed was a tailor by profession with a great interest in history and maps. He wanted to produce an English atlas of the same high standards and quality as those published on the continent. The 'Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World' was published in 1627 two years before the death of Speed. Ownership of the atlas passed through various hands until sometime after 1668 when Roger Rea sold the rights to Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell. Bassett was a specialist in legal books and Chiswell was the publisher for the Royal Society. The final 1676 edition of the 'Prospect' includes eight further maps on seven sheets appearing for the first and only time.

The third distinct folio edition of the King James Bible printed in large black-letter type and bound with John Speed's 1552-1629 Genealogies Recorded in the Sacred Scriptures including his acclaimed double-page map of Canaan. When James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne in 1603 he found the country a place of religious discord symbolised by the use of two distinct translations of the Bible. The Bishops' Bible was the official voice of the Church while the Geneva Bible more Calvinist in tone with extensive study notes and commentary was preferred by the general populace and the growing Puritan sect. James was keen to heal these divisions and to wean his people off the Geneva which he felt encouraged sedition and republicanism. To this end the King convened the Hampton Court Conference in 1604 where the new English version was conceived. The new authorised translation was not initially a success: the Geneva Bible remained prevalent until at least 1644 when the last known seventeenth-century edition was brought to the press. Nevertheless overtime it grew in popularity and has widely come to be seen as a towering achievement in the history of English prose contributing more idioms to our language than many other single source including Shakespeare with examples ranging from feet of clay to reap the whirlwind.

réf. 10728London: Printed & Sold by Henry Overton at ye white Horse without Newgate. 1743. No binding. Very Good. ONE OF THE RAREST EDITIONS OF SPEED. Folio 435 x 290 mm. contemporary quarter calf marbled paper boards spine with raised bands black calf gilt title label affixed light wear. With engraved title page dated 1743 'A Sett of the Counties of England and Wales' with contemporary manuscript notations and 58 double-page engraved maps all in fine early outline colour front free endpaper with light water stain wormtrack though lower corner of first few leaves mostly in the margin Lincoln with wax mark Northumberland with old repaired tear final map with wrinkle to right side otherwise in good condition. A very fresh example of one of the rarest editions of John Speed's folio atlas. Hodson recorded only two complete examples I have now identified seven. Following Henry Overton's acquisition of the Speed plates from Christopher Browne in 1713 the printed maps had only been available in loose form. Clients did request them to be bound as atlases and a few survive. But until 1743 there was no intention on Overton's behalf to publish an atlas. Neither of the two adverts located refer to the maps being available in this manner. In February 1743 the papers of the day carried an advertisement stating 'Lately Re-Printed Speed's Sett of the Counties of England and Wales . each printed on a Sheet of Royal Paper neatly colour'd and bound in Marble Paper with red Leather Backs and Corners. Price 18s. Sold either in Setts or single Maps by Henry Overton .' These were available either 'Coloured or Plain' according to the index in the atlas. The reason for its issue is unclear. Following the earliest known issue of the maps whilst in Overton's possession two further distinct periods of issue can be defined before this atlas edition. Following the Jacobite rising in 1715 five of the northern county maps were revised to include Henry Overton's imprint those of Cumberland Durham Lancashire Northumberland and Westmoreland. They all included roads and in the case of Northumberland this can be sourced to the John Warburton map of the county published in August 1716. Of this Speed—Overton II as it is called there are two known examples. During this period the plates became very worn and Overton had many of them retouched. There are two known examples falling into this classification of which only one survives. For this final issue in atlas form many of the old dates on the plates were removed crudely. Also for a reason unknown the date 1738 was added to that of Huntington. This Speed — Overton IV as it is classified contained the same engraved title page by Robert White 1646-1703 with the addition of 'by John Speed. Reprinted Anno 1743.' The typographic index is entirely re-set with the title 'A Sett of the Counties of England and Wales with their Ilands containing Fifty Eight MAPS; each on a Sheet of Royal Paper. By JOHN SPEED. Reprinted in the YEAR 1743. With ADDITIONS.' There follows a list of the 58 maps after which is an advert stating 'Sold either in Compleat Setts Bound or Single either Coloured or Plain … Neatly Bound in Marble Paper with Leather Back and Corners Coloured Price 1l. 4s.' Overton's two sheet atlas of the world is also noted.

The atlas no doubt continued to be available until his death in 1751 and was probably still available at the hands of his successor his son also Henry Overton.

THE EARLIEST ATLAS OF THE BRITISH ISLES AD THE EARLIEST WORLD ATLAS BY AN ENGLISHMAN. FIRST EDITION of "The Theatre"; 1611 bound with the second edition 1631 of the "Prospect" "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. was the earliest English attempt at producing an atlas on a grand scale with the first detailed maps of the provinces of Ireland the first set of county maps consistently attempting to show the boundaries of territorial divisions and the first truly comprehensive set of English town plans-a notable contribution to British topography. Perhaps as many as fifty of the seventy-three towns had not previously been mapped and about fifty-one of the plans were probably Speed's own work. A balance is struck between the modern and historical with information placed on the edges of the maps about antiquarian remains and sites and vignettes of famous battles together with arms of princes and nobles. This additional information is one of the Theatre's most significant contributions" Dictionary of National Biography. The "Theatre" is complete with engraved architectural title engraved Royal Achievements by Jodocus Hondius dated 1611 letterpress list of kingdoms and woodcut royal arms three letterpress section titles with woodcut borders three woodcut royal arms 67 double-page engraved maps most by Jodocus Hondius woodcut head- and tail-pieces and initials mounted on guards throughout. The "Prospect" was intended as a supplement to the "Theatre" and includes 22 maps of different parts of the world including the famous world map presumably by Abraham Goos and the map of America both showing California as an island.
