Bashford Dean, New York French & Co., Inc. The armoury of the Dukes of the Infantado was the second most important armoury in the Iberian Peninsula after the Royal Armoury in Madrid. At one time it had no less than one hundred and sixty-two full armours many of which had been made for distinguished Royal and noble patrons. This collection was matched by an equally impressive array of edged weapons, firearms and also rarities such as a shield made from an elephant~s ear with a silver brim and another from a tortoiseshell. It also housed historic artefacts including the central gangplank from the Turkish flagship at the Battle of Lepanto presented by Don Juan of Austria to the 5th Duke. Despite a fire in 1702 much of the armoury survived into the late 19th century when it was dispersed. See Ramos 2013, pp. 1-16. For a discussion of the Spanish armour of this period see Mann 1932, p. 67. See also footnote to lot 179.

Overton, 1708, and (between 13 and 14): Jaillot (Hubert), Le Royaume de Danemark. Subdivisé en ses principals provinces, tiré de plusieurs mémoires par le Sanson, Paris: Hubert Jaillot, 1692, each on two sheets, conjoined, with cartouches, contemporary outline colour, toning, creasing and repairs, modern full calf binding, gilt red morocco label to front board, atlas folioQty: (1)NOTESBurden II 532 (for North America: 'very rare'); Chubb p. 420; Shirley British Isles 1650-1750 p. 29; Shirley World 501; Tooley Africa p. 56 ('uncommon'); Tooley America p. 122 (for North America). A near-complete set of Berry's series of maps known as 'the English Sanson', 'very rare' (Chubb), and with Europe and Denmark, the only missing maps according to the list at the foot of The Circle and Electorat of the Rhine , appositely replaced with contemporary examples by Moll and Jaillot. Based on Jaillot’s Atlas nouveau (1674), a reworking of Sanson, they were published separately between 1680 and 1689, which may account for their high attrition rate. Berry’s version of the North America map is especially important, being the first or at least the second map to name Pennsylvania, which was founded on 4 March 1681 (Thornton and Seller's map appeared in the summer of that year). Certain features of Jaillot's map are retained, including the easterly slant to the Mississippi River, and the omission of Montreal, but there are notable differences other than the inclusion of Pennsylvania. 'Much of it is the anglicising of the continent, New England's boundaries being pushed to the St Lawrence River and New Scotland laying claim to all of the territory to the Gulf and Acadia ... Penn's main rival Maryland is not ignored and the town of Baltamore [sic] is identified. The southern claims of England are also extended with the inclusion of Charles-Towne and Carolina. In the west one notable addition is a Straits of Anian. The engraver of the map is not known although it bears many ofthe hallmarks of Herman Moll. If his work it would be one of his earliest known' (Burden). The world map exhibits similar changes: 'Berry has patriotically marked the islands discovered by Drake just off Tierra del Fuego and has added New Albion in the northern part of California, shown as an island' (Shirley; California is depicted in the same manner in North America ). North America is in Burden's first state (it was re-issued in 1718); The New Mapp of the Kingdome of England and Wales is in Shirley's first state; the Moll map of Europe was also re-issued c.1730 with a re-engraved dedication to Caroline, consort of George II.
