SPEED, John. Cornwall A hand coloured engraved map from Speed's 'The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain', with inset view of Launceston, large strapwork cartouche and compass rose, Latin text to the verso titled 'Cornwallia sive Cornubia', framed and glazed, 41cm x 53cm, John Sudbury and George Humble, London, 1616.As this map lacks Irish or Virgivian Sea below the cartouche of Launceston and the fact there is Latin text to the rear, it indicates that this plate was published pre 1623 and was therefore published in 1616 (Quixley and Quixley. 'Antique Maps of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly,' p.35). A vibrant example in vg condition. Very good overall condition, no rips or tears, colours are strong throughout. Sporadically, there are small incidences of singular spots. Although only seen close up and generally to the margins. I would suggest this map would want reframing, as the paper is slightly crumpled, with some fold marks visible. Coincidentally, whilst examining the map, it appears this was previously sold from 'The Old Master Galleries' in Oxford Street, London. This map has not been examined out of its frame.

Penzance Interest A substantial map of Penzance, annotated for the redesign of the harbour and docks , 1877 Penzance Harbour and Docks, Contract No.1, Drawing No.1, paper backed onto linen, surveyed in 1877 by Lieut H. R. G. Georges, Levelled by Capt W. Wynne, Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, 120cm x 198cm.A unique map, used as a working document to establish the harbour from the dry dock that it was initially to the harbour layout, which we largely see today. With handwritten annotations indicating areas to be paved in granite (violet), macadamized (burnt sienna), merely filled up (pink), the areas of the harbour to be deepened (green) and the site of the new graving dock (yellow). Signed by John Matthews Jnr (responsible for the design of a number of lighthouses including Pendeen Watch and Beachy Head), the (then) mayor of Penzance, Charles Campbell Ross (1849-1920 whose familial home is now Morrab Gardens and Morrab Library) and other surveyors and engineers involved with the redesign of the harbour and docks. Though the map has suffered some loss and damage, it does not detract from the historical importance of the piece. Together with two maps from the same period of Pezance Harbour and surroundings without annotations and a print onto card of Penzance depicting the area before the harbour was modernised and before the building of the lido.
