PROVENANCE Private collection West Dorset NOTE John Arrowsmith was a member of one of the most important London based families of map makers, eventually taking over the running of the family business and publishing the highly regarded London Atlas. The set of maps in this volume were amongst the best available at the time being compiled from the most up to date information and presented in a pleasing clear manner, the atlas is generally regarded as the first 'modern' Atlas of the Victorian period. A founder member of the Royal Geographical Society he was awarded their gold medal in 1863. This atlas has remained in the same family collection for much of the 20th century. In a remarkable metamorphic library table which was surely commissioned to house the Atlas in a fine gentleman's library, this is one of the most interesting pieces of Victorian Library furniture to have come to the market in many years.
