A Map of the Mediterranean Sea with the Adjacent Regions and Seas in Europe, Asia and Africa, 1785, engraved map with bright contemporary hand colouring, large uncoloured allegorical cartouche, 605 x 850 mmQty: (6)NOTESThe Mount and Page chart of the English Channel was an immediate reaction to Edmond Halley's 'Fundamental Thematic Map of the English Channel'. The importance of understanding longitude was well known, but the tidal flow of the seas and their unpredictability was a major navigational hazard resulting in heavy losses of vessels, especially on the approach to harbours and ports. Halley's voyage aboard the "Paramore" in 1701, enabled him to produce a map of the English Channel which for the first time, enabled a prediction of the tides. Its genius was that it made something that was extremely complicated, understandable by 18th-century mariners. Mount & Page published a derivative map in 1702 and this example was published in the 'English Pilot' of 1749.
