Ptolemy/Mercator, 1704 Claudii Ptolemaei Tabulae Geographicae Orbis Terrarum Veteribus Cogniti This striking, classical title page is from Mercator`s edition of Ptolemy. It features two river gods in the foreground, and personifications of music, art, and learning are shown mapping the globe, while the angel of Fame trumpets above. Engraved by Jan van Vianen. Although Mercator is most renowned today for the projection he popularized and for first using the term "Atlas" for a collection of maps, he devoted much of his life to his Ptolemaic maps. This example is on a folio sized sheet and still attached to the table of contents for the atlas, published by Francois Halma and Guiljelmus van de Water. 9.3" W x 14.4" H Light soiling with a few small spots of foxing.
A 'Rudd's Table or Reflecting Dressing Table', late 18th century, having three frieze drawers, the central drawer having an open box, lidded compartments and a sliding tray, flanked by a pair of pull-out drawers which swivel, fitted with open and box compartments and with two hinged mirrors, 105cm wide 70cm deep 79cm high 'Rudd's Table or Reflecting Dressing Table' was popularised by its appearance in Hepplewhite's 'The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterers' Guide', where Hepplewhite makes handsome acknowledgement to the original inventor: 'Rudd's Table or Reflecting Dressing Table possesses every convenience which can be wanted or mechanism or ingenuity supply'. The maker who most improved this design was Thomas Shearer. Ralph Fastnedge, in his book 'Shearer Furniture Designs', suggests the table was named after the personable, but notorious, Mrs Rudd. Margaret Caroline Rudd was a prominent 18th century forger, described as a despicable character, who left men trailing in her wake. One such gentleman was Valentine Rudd, who had the misfortune of marrying her. After moving to London, the couple split up and Margaret moved out of their home. However, as they were still married, Mrs Rudd simply went about living her life while putting it all on the bill of her estranged husband, resulting eventually in Valentine being put into debtor's prison. Margaret then became attached to identical twin brothers - Daniel and Robert Perreau. Although Daniel was a gambler, his brother was happily married and a successful businessman. All of this was blown apart by Mrs Rudd, who dragged both brothers into her world of forgery and crime. All three stood before the Old Bailey in 1775 on forgery charges, the Perreau brothers being found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Mrs Rudd, however, used her charm to obtain a not guilty verdict and was released. She died in relative obscurity in 1779. CONDITION REPORT: Veneer replacement to frieze. Minor veneer loss.
