Item description from seller

250 x 140 mm., very slight weakness to extreme lower right corner not affecting the image, otherwise in good condition. Complete with the three accompany leaves of text. A pictorial view of the county with foreground vignettes of county scenery. First published in George Bickham's fully engraved 'British Monarchy' c.1743. Of extreme rarity, only seven examples of the atlas are recorded. The maps are highly collected for their distinctiveness. Below the title is a dedication to the Lord Lieutenant of the county. George Bickham senior (1684?-1758) and George Bickham junior (1704?-71) were both drawing masters, engravers, print sellers, and publishers. They are most known for their popular work on calligraphy entitled the 'Universal Penman' 1733-41. The 'British Monarchy' had a similar publishing history in that it too was published in parts. It was to be similarly an entirely engraved work and was announced on 8 October 1743. At first there was no intention to include a series of county maps. When they were included, they were allegorical birds-eye images which can hardly be described as maps, but which are highly collected as such. The accompanying descriptive text shows well his skill with script. Provenance: private English collection; Bonhams Oxford 27 September 2011 lot 101; Clive A.

Description de la boutique

Founded by the late Clive A. Burden in 1966, the company is one of the longest established dealers in antique maps, atlases, books and rare decorative prints. All items offered are fine original examples. Areas of particular focus are the British Isles and North America. Our stock dates from incunabula (pre-1500) to the late 1800s. We also carry decorative prints including botanical, bird, other natural history, architecture, in addition to Vanity Fair caricatures. Books include atlases, illustrated, and colour plate works. Philip D. Burden joined his father in the business in 1979. His interests included the British Isles and North America. He wrote and published in 1996 and 2007 the definitive two volume treatise entitled ‘The Mapping of North America’. This was the first work to list all known printed maps relating to North America up to the year 1700. Each fully described and illustrated. Clive A.
