A fascinating collection of maps and drawings by Rev. James Mickleburgh. Mickleburgh was a rural pastor who was also an editor of the Society for the Diffusion of Usful Knowledge (S.D.U.K.). His druaghtmanship is not in question, and it is presumed that with his connection to the S.D.U.K. he was also the cartographer of the map, as Speake was one of his parishioners. There are examples of Speake’s maps in the Royal Geographical Society and they lack the obvious professional style and appearance of this example. In fact they are somewhat amateurish. We pressume that Mickleburgh drew this map for Speake. The album contains several drawings of Dartmouth and the surrounding towns and villages of Devon. James Mickleburgh was a contributor to the drawings in the two volumes of Anastatic drawings. The provenence of this collection is by descent to the present owner from James Mickleburgh’s housekeeper, Phoebe Newbery. A family tree and census entries are included in the lot. (4)
