The Printed Maps of Devon, no. 44. Arguably the best known of all the large-scale county maps due to the 100 Guineas award from the Royal Society of Arts. Donn's map of Devon was the first map to receive the award which had been conceived by the society in 1762. Donn had taken five years to survey the county and claimed to have measured over 6000 miles of roads and rivers. Highly accurate and exhaustively detailed, the map clearly benefits from Donn's training as a mathematician, but the skill of Thomas Jefferys as an engraver cannot be understated. The map was sold in a simple twelve-sheet format for one and a half guineas (as in this example) and with an extra five shillings for colouring. It was also available in a de-luxe state with a title page, printed index, subscribers list and index map for two guineas plus extra for colouring.

Previously Sylvia Mann (collection no.3209/80). Exhibited in All Cards on the Table at Leinfelden 5 October 1990-29 September 1991 (#206).Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.206 & #73 (this pack); Mann & Wayland, The Dragons of Portugal, pp.36-38 (it seems this pack is that described on p.38, and illustrated in plate XVI, as then belonging to E. Newman). See also Cary collection, NEI-1 for a more sophisticated version. According to Mann there is a similar deck in the Museum of Archaeology and Paleontology of the University of Pennsylvania.This extremely rare deck was 'hand-painted in garish colours and presented with almost unbelievable simplicity' (Mann, p.206). Sylvia Mann (see #73) believes that the accompanying manuscript note was written by a Dutch merchant or sailor. It describes the names of some of the cards, which he says were used for the game of omberen. The suits are: Kopadá, Sepada, Bulaeng (Macassar for 'gold'), and Kajoe (Kayu in Malay is 'wood'), and are indicated not only by suit marks but also somewhat by the colouring of the clothing on the court cards. The early playing cards of Sulawesi (formally Celebes), and more generally Indonesia, were heavily influenced by its trading links with Portugal.

In the upper corners of the map are representations of Mercury carrying an elaborate compass and the goddess Demeter spilling her cornucopia into the market. The stock exchange itself is shown as a castellated courtyard within whose walls commodities, gilts and bonds are depicted being traded by a variety of humorous vignettes.
