England & Wales. Lea (Philip), Untitled map taken from Christopher Saxton's large scale map of England and Wales first published in 1583, this state published Philip Lea, Globemaker at ye Atlas and Hercules in Cheapside nere the corner of Fryday Street in London, [1687 - 1700], engraved map with contemporary outline colouring on five sheets, with two additional loose sheets, bound in contemporary vellum with manuscript title 'Mappe of England' on outside of vellum and rolled presumably to facilitate ease of carriage when travelling, half compass rose, table of longitude and latitude of principal towns, some fraying to map strip margins, appears to be lacking two smaller portions (East coast of Norfolk & Suffolk and South West Cornwall), each sheet approximately 285 x 855 mm, two loose sheets approximately 280 x 200 mm R.W.SHirley. Early Printed Maps of the British Isles 1477 - 1650, no.137, state 5. Christopher Saxton published his twenty sheet wall map in 1583. It was re-issued by Cade & Morgan in 1678. Philip Lea aquired the copper plates in about 1685 and re-published the map on a smaller scale designed to be used as a travelling map. He reduced the map to ten full sheets and four half sheets and removed a great deal of the sea, thus making the map relevant to land based travellers. The map was pasted into five horizontal strips. The top three sheets made up of two sheets and the last two sheets made of two sheets with a half sheet pasted at each end. It appears that two of these half sheets are lacking from this example. Philip Lea re-engraved the plates at least five times during his perod of ownership. This example is his 5th and final state and therefore state 7 of a total of nine states. Lea moved from Poultry to Cheapside in 1687 and remained there until 1700. Following Lea's death, Anne his widow, re-engraved and re-issued the map with Richard Glynne in 1720 and Thomas & John Bowles & Son repeated this in 1758. Scarce. (1)
