W. Shirley. Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, 1477 - 1650, no. 537. The map is often referred to as 'The Quartermaster's Map' and is based upon Christopher Saxton's wall map. It was used widely during the English Civil War, particularly by the Parliamentarians with whom the publisher Thomas Jenner's sympathies lay. Jenner was a print and map seller who set up in business at the White Bear in Cornhill in about 1618. Until the impending Civil War Jenner was not known for cartographic material. Then in 1643, he published a revised edition of the 'Direction for the English Traviller' whose plates he had acquired from his printer Matthew Simmons. Jenner had timed his move perfectly. The demand for maps to help the large numbers of people moving about the country at the time of the Civil War was on the increase. The market for the little atlas clearly proved so great that he was emboldened to do more. He engaged the services of the noted engraver Wenceslaus Hollar to etch a reduction of Christopher Saxton's great wall map of 1583, thereby enabling his customers to have a more detailed and yet still portable map of England and Wales. Its success can be measured by how often it was re-printed - as many as fifteen different states, the last being in 1800 - however, its portability probably resulted in the destruction of most examples and complete copies such as this example are rare. This is a very rare example of the 1st state, variant 1b. The monogram is believed to be that of John Rushworth. Rushworth was a solicitor and was enrolled at Lincoln's Inn in 1640. After the outbreak of the Civil War, he acted as a messenger between Parliament and its committees at Oxford and York. As secretary to Sir Thomas Fairfax, general of the New Model Army, Rushworth was off considerable importance, and thereafter he was employed by the council of state and Parliament. Following the execution of Charles I in 1649, Rushworth became personal secretary to Oliver Cromwell. He began drafting plans for the abolition of the monarchy and the House of Lords, and the establishment of an English Republic under the leadership of Cromwell. When Cromwell became Lord Protector in 1653, Rushworth was promoted to Registrar of the Court of Admiralty. At the Restoration, Rushworth made peace with Charles II and, although called to give information on the activities of the regicides, was not himself implicated. In 1667 he became secretary to the Lord Keeper and, later, agent to the colony of Massachusetts. Despite his many emoluments and an inherited estate, he fell into poverty, probably as a result of a combination of senility and alcoholism, and spent his last years in a lodging in the King’s Bench Prison, Southwark, where he died. A rare map with a remarkable historical provenance. I am grateful to Dr Robert Colley for his research into the monogram and its significance.
