A propos de cet article

Contemporary green paper boards expertly rebacked in green calf. Spine with 6 gilt-tooled raised bands, title lettered in gilt on maroon leather label in 2nd compartment, blind motifs in remaining. , Herman Moll (British, mid-17th century ? 1732) is best known for his cartographic work. In 1715, Moll issued ?The World Described,? a collection of 30 large, double-sided maps, which were initially bound separately and then later sold in the form of atlases in a joint venture between a number of publishers. The series included two of the most famous Moll maps: ?A new and exact map of the dominions of the King of Great Britain? and ?To The Right Honorable John Lord Sommers.This Map of North America According To Ye Newest and Most Exact Observations.? These were distinctive for their elaborate cartouches and are known respectively as the Beaver Map and the Codfish Map; the Beaver Map most notably features in its cartouche a colony of industrious beavers hard at work building a dam. As with much of his work, Moll used these maps to publicize and support British policy and regional claims throughout the world; the Beaver Map indeed contributed to the British-French feud between colony boundaries.List of maps present in the atlas:1.
