British Isles. De Jode (Cornelis), Angliae Scotiae et Hibernie Nova Descriptio, Antwerp [1593], uncoloured engraved map orientated to the east, strapwork cartouche with an additional cartouche containing explanatory text, extensive near-contemporary ink marginalia listing principal cities and towns, some faint near-contemporary underlining of some towns and cities, 350 x 500 mm, Latin text on the versoQty: (1)NOTESR. W. Shirley. Early Printed Maps of the British Isles 1477 - 1650, 173. First published in 1570, this later edition of Gerard De Jode's map was published by his son, Cornelis. in his 'Speculum Orbis Terrae..., Heredu Gerardi de Judaeis' in 1593. Neither the 1570, the 1578 nor the 1593 editions of the atlas sold well. Cornelis died at the early age of 32 and his plates were acquired by Joan Baptista Vrients - who had already purchased Ortelius's plates - thus giving him a virtual monopoly of the publication of maps and atlases in Antwerp. Vrients much preferred the Ortelius plates, and this virtual suppression of de Jode's plates coupled with the poor initial sales of the De Jode atlases results in them being uncommon in the market today.

British Isles. Ptolemy (Claudius & Berlinghieri Francesco), Tabula Prima d Europa, Florence [1482], uncoloured engraved map on thick laid paper, a few professional repairs to the verso, largely confined to the margins, size to plate mark 405 x 525 mm, sheet size 430 x 555 mmQty: (1)NOTESR. W. Shirley. Early printed Maps of the British Isles, 3, state 1. "an elegant copperplate engraving originally attributed by Hind to Francesco Roselli, an attribution now questioned in view of Roselli's absences from Italy in the period 1480 - 1482. This is the only edition in which the projection follows Ptolemy's original grid, based on equidistant parallels and meridians. The place names are directly engraved on to the plate in Italian, using a lighter and slightly cursive upper and lower case print, compared to the heavier capitals on the Rome plates and the crude lettering on the first Bologna edition". Rare. One of the first available printed maps of the British Isles.

W. Shirley. Early printed Maps of the British Isles, 384. A highly decorative and rare map by Claes Visscher (under his Latinised name of Nicolaus Joannis Visscher) and separately published. An example of the first state, engraved by Abraham Goos. It appears in a rare 1623 Mercator atlas, but Shirley suggests that the map may have been issued separately prior to the 1623 atlas.

Kerr (Lord Mark Robert) Hamilton (William). Manuscript Copy of Letters concerning the Northern Coast of the County of Antrim. Containing a Natural History of its Basaltes: with an Account of such Circumstances as are worthy of notice respecting the Antiquities, Manners and Customs of that Country, 164pp, map, frontispiece and 51 original grisaille watercolours by the artist, each signed with his monogram, manuscript pages, offsetting, occasional marginal spotting, bookplate of Lord Kerr to front pastedown, contemporary full brown morocco gilt with floral embellishments to turn-ins, gilt text block, boards rubbed, spine extremities and joints worn, corners bumped, 4toQty: (1)NOTESA sumptuous manuscript copy of a cornerstone of 18th century Irish topography. Lord Mark Robert Kerr was Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy (1837-1840) and an artist. He commanded the Fisgard in the Napoleonic War and it was he who alerted the Royal Navy to the movement of the French fleet through the Strait of Gibraltar in 1805, this being the initial advice that they were at sea. He maintained close correspondence with Admiral Nelson and Nelson thought of him highly; "..I fear Lord M Kerr is falling into the same complaint [as I have]. I have now got him to the fleet and shall keep an Eye upon him for he is too valuable an Officer and good a Man to be lost for want of care" (Nelson, the New Letters, 2005, pp.304). However, he was also an artist of high regard. "What Nelson did not know, however, was that, in addition to being an excellent naval officer, Kerr was also an exceptionally interesting artist: a Regency surrealist" (British Art Journal, Vol 6, No 2 pp.28-30). He married Charlotte MacDonald, Countess of Antrim in 1799 which no doubt contributed to his desire to create this work. Beautifully illustrated with 51 watercolours, all signed by the artist, based upon the corresponding passages in Hamilton's work. The passages of the text have been handwritten (presumably by Kerr) in a fine, flowing hand. Furthermore, the map and two further manuscripts were contributed by his daughter Letitia Louisa Kerr.
