The Printed Maps of Devon, no. 44. Arguably the best known of all the large-scale county maps due to the 100 Guineas award from the Royal Society of Arts.

Donn had taken five years to survey the county and claimed to have measured over 6000 miles of roads and rivers. Highly accurate and exhaustively detailed, the map clearly benefits from Donn's training as a mathematician, but the skill of Thomas Jefferys as an engraver cannot be understated. The map was sold in a simple twelve-sheet format for one and a half guineas (as in this example) and with an extra five shillings for colouring. It was also available in a de-luxe state with a title page, printed index, subscribers list and index map for two guineas plus extra for colouring.

Compiled in the late 16th century by Moffett, who 'travelled extensively in Europe and kept copious notes of his observations on insects. These he published in the above folio, together with many excellent woodcut illustrations. To date, this was the best work of its kind and it set a new standard of accuracy in the study of the invertebrates. An English translation, Theater of Insects, appeared in 1658' (Garrison & Morton).Moffet is often mistakenly said to have used a microscope in his observations, but in fact made the highly accurate woodcuts with the naked eye. Sir Theodore Turquet de Mayerne published the work posthumously from the manuscript, which is preserved today in the British Library. The illustration of the American Swallowtail on p 98 is the first printed representation of an American butterfly. There are three variant imprints, but these variants do not indicate a chronology, simply that the edition was shared among booksellers.
