Asia. Hondius (Jodocus), Asia recens summa cura demeata Auctore Iud. Hondio, originally published Amsterdam, but this example is a pirated Italian edition, possibly printed in Venice, circa 1642, uncoloured engraved carte-a-figure map on two conjoined sheets, ten costumed figures to the vertical margins, twelve oval vignettes of principal cities to the horizontal margins, old folds, sparse near contemporary ink marginalia, 440 x 560 mm, no text on verso An unrecorded Italian pirated copy of Hondius's map, probably engraved in Venice, perhaps by the little known publisher Stefano Scolari. The paper used in the printing bears the water mark of an anchor in a circle, surmounted by a six pointed star (Heawood 8?) which indicates the paper to be Italian and of the period. The map appeared together with six other similar examples at a Sothebys auction, several of which bore the date 1642, and had numerous vignette views to the borders reversed. On the map of Europe, the Tower of London appears on the left rather than the right of the image, however, this error is not present on the views of Venice, Rome and Constantinople. The map is based on an earlier work by Jodocus Hondius published in 1623.The 1623 printing formed part of a set of maps of the four continents of which Africa and Asia are dated 1623. The title of the Asia map appears in the upper left in a cartouche which is a mirror image of that on Jodocus Hondiuss 1619 map. The imprint is in the cartouche in the upper right. Later states of the map bear the imprint of Johannes Janssonius - as in the present example. (1)

The trade with Britain seems to have been particularly important and was largely based upon the sale of pirate versions of books and prints that were originally published in London. This was possible because home rule meant that Irish publishers were exempt from legislation governing copyright over printed material in England, while lower labour costs and taxes on paper, allowed Irish publishers to offer goods at a fraction of their London competitors. William MaCleary was one of the foremost print dealers, based in Dublin and with premises on the fashionable Nassau street, he produced a great many caricatures which had the original artist and publisher's names removed and were issued with just MaCleary's name below the image. This advantageous trading position made Dublin a thriving centre for print making and publishing and by 1801 Dublin was home to a substantial number of businesses dealing in the production and and sale of printed goods. Wilson's Dublin Directory for 1801 contains entries for 59 printers, publishers and engravers, 39 booksellers, 9 map and printsellers, as well as 9 other businesses that sold products such as inks, paint, copperplates and paper which could be used in the printing process.List of titles included : View onboard a Packet; Patience on a Monument smiling at Grief or The Royal Laundress washing Boney's Court Dresses; Tit for Tat or Every dog has his day (*); Aryl Visit to a Foreign Capital or The Ambassador not at home; Fashionables of 1821; Les Invisibles; Traveling in France or Le Depart du Diligence; Leap Frog !!; A Halfpay Agents Levee; Giving up the Ghost or One Too Many;  A Long Headed Minuet !!; State Physicians Bleeding John Bull to Death !!; An Early Lesson of Dancing !; The Mischief of Methodicism, Agoing !

After the partnership broke up, each member took the plates that they engraved with them, the majority of which were engraved by Senex, and were re-issued in his English Atlas from 1714. In 1713, Wildey acquired the remainder of Price's stock and began to issue them with his own imprint and in a further ill-fated partnership with Timothy Brandreth. The partnership was not a commercial success and later the same year, Willdey was advertising the remaining stock of the maps at a heavily discounted price.This particular example bears a dedication by Charles Price to Earl John Poulett, who was Lord Steward between 1711-1714. We have been unable to trace another example which bears the dedication. (1)
