- Lot Description
* [SENEX, John]. A New General Atlas, Containing a Geographical and Historical Account of All the Empires, Kingdoms and other Dominions of the World. London: for Daniel Browne, Thomas Taylor, et al, 1721.
Folio (538 x 355 mm). Title printed in red and black, 34 double-page engraved maps, all hand-colored in outline except the city plans; 13 pages engraved coats of arms of subscribers, all mounted on stubs. (Vertical creasing to a few leaves at beginning and end, some light spotting, a few pale stains.) Contemporary English sprinkled calf, blind foliate roll-tool border, spine in 8 compartments with 7 raised bands, brown morocco gilt lettering-piece in one, board edges and turn-ins gilt (joints starting, spine ends chipping with minor losses, overall wear).
FIRST EDITION, "chiefly interesting for the copiousness of its information concerning America, which is illustrated by seven immense maps" (Sabin). A New Map of Virginia Mary-Land and the Improved Parts of Pennsylvania & New Jersey, an important depiction of the Chesapeake Bay region, is the 1721 revised state of Christopher Browne's map, which was chiefly derived from Augustine Herrman's earlier surveys of the region in 1673. The map shows the boundary of Delaware, which was still part of Pennsylvania, favoring the claims of Lord Baltimore. Senex's atlas also includes a map of Louisiana and the Mississippi River, dedicated to William Law. Phillips 563; Sabin 79124.
Estimate $12,000-18,000
Provenance: Sir Andrew(?) Agnew, Baronet, Lochnaw (armorial bookplate); Thomas Agnew (signature and shelf mark on preface).
