A propos de cet article

Duodecimo (135 x 90 mm.), full contemporary calf, gilt ruled, rebacked with ribbed spine, two red calf gilt title labels. With engraved title and 53 maps, all in EARLY OUTLINE COLOUR, that of Merionith with small area of right margin missing, otherwise in good condition. The FIRST EDITION of Gibson's highly desirable little atlas in early outline colour. John Gibson (fl.1750-1787) was an engraver who worked for several of the cartographers of the day. Published and advertised extensively in May of 1759 by John Newbery (1713-67), the 'New and Accurate Maps .', it was most probably intended for children. Newbery had married the widow of William Carnan in 1740, the owner and publisher of 'The Reading Mercury and Oxford Gazette' and at first he continued to run the business. It was one of the earliest papers outside of London to which he moved in 1744. Newbery was the first publisher to focus on the market for children's books, most of which he priced around 6d. or 1s. So this work was one of his most expensive items on offer at 4s. and 5s. 6d. coloured. In 1758, Newberry had published the 'Atlas Minimus', with plates engraved by Gibson, a similar sized world atlas. It is Newbery who is depicted in Oliver Goldsmith's 'The Vicar of Wakefield' as the philanthropic bookseller. He also published 'Goody Two Shoes', the first in his series of the Juvenile Library. Newbery's name is honoured in America with the annual award of a medal since 1922 for the most distinguished contribution to children's literature by an American resident.Below the title is a brief explanation of the symbols used on the maps. They themselves contain some brief topographical and statistical notes. The majority of the maps are drawn from Morden, although Hodson identifies more recent sources for some maps. These are usually large scale county surveys which were beginning to appear on the market at the time. There were two editions of this pretty county atlas, both of which are very rare and are more usually uncoloured. On Newbery's death, the business was taken over by his son, Francis Newbery, and his stepson, Thomas Carnan. Provenance: with bookplate of John George Bartholomew (1860-1920) grandson of the founder of the family of Bartholomew, publishers of atlases etc., he was a major moderniser of cartography; private English collection. Provenance: private English collection; Clive A. Burden Ltd. (2015) Catalogue 11 item 47; private English collection. Chubb (1927) no. 213; not in ESTC; Hodson (1984-97) no. 219; Shirley (2004) T.Gib 2a.…
