W. Shirley. Printed Maps of the British Isles 1650 - 1750 Browne 2 state 3. A very unusual map, first published as a wall map in about 1700. In its original form, the map had a large cartouche in the upper right, however, as a result of its popularity, it was published in a travelling format, with only the salient details necessary for someone venturing beyond an area they were familiar with. This format saved on weight and bulk and could be presented in a rolled or folded form. Its size seems to have predicated against it surviving in any numbers and today it is a scarce map. Philip Overton and Thomas Bowles acquired the plates in 1712 and under their imprint, it was advertised in the 'Monthly Catalogue' of 1717 and copies were also bound up in editions of the 'English Gentleman's Guide' where it was advertised as '.... made portable for Cloak-Bag, Portmanteau or Pocket'. The last edition was around 1760 by Robert Sayer and Thomas Bowles.

Moore suggests that Des Maiseaux was only responsible for the French translation, but this undoubtedly appeared first - it is possible that he was the author. The Cologne imprint of that edition, however, is probably false.2. ESTC T71919.
