Pub Note:
Published in London, 1794. Composite world atlas by William Faden (1749-1836). Bound in 19th century half red calf over purple pebble-grain cloth, with gilt spine title. Pink end papers. Bookplate: Liverpool Library, Lyceum, Bold Street. Stamp for the “Liverpool Library” on many of the maps within. Elephant folio. Collation: 2° : [1], 48 leaves of plates. With a contemporary manuscript index listing forty-eight subjects in order of appearance, including the wall-maps of the Mediterranean, Asia, India, Africa and the Americas, each joined in two sections and listed as two subjects. Geographic coverage spans the globe, including maps of the Western, Eastern, Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as well as Europe, the United States and the West Indies. Maps show political boundaries, cities, roads, canals, topography, deserts, bodies of water, drainage, coastlines, islands, water depths and anchorage. Maps feature routes of European exploration, such as the voyages of Captain Cook. Maps include decorative cartouches and descriptive text, including notes on voyages. Engravings with original hand-coloring. See our 2104.000 for a later 1802 edition and our 15054.000 for the 1804 Cedid Atlas (the first Ottoman world atlas) derived from this atlas and the 1802 edition. William Faden was a partner in the Jeffreys’ cartographic firm. “With the onset of peace and his reputation made, Faden had the necessary capital and contacts to expand the range of maps he offered. The War of the French Directory was a further opportunity for Faden. This atlas was evidently prepared around 1794, the latest date found on any of the maps, with the European section buttressed by a range of rare Faden maps issued to illustrate the theaters of war, including the plan of the environs of Toulon, his re-issues of the index map to Dury’s wall-map of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the sheet with insets of Corsica and Sardinia from Dury’s wall-map of the Genoese states, as well as general maps of France, the Low Countries and Delarochette’s map of the English Channel from 1794. The additional maps of England and Spain bear the imprint of Sayer; Asia, Africa Egypt, America and the West Indies are from the stock of Laurie and Whittle, all used in editions of the Sayer/Laurie and Whittle General atlas. Among other highlights in this atlas are Delarochette’s map of Cape Providence (1782), Henry Robert’s maps of the world and the northwest coast of America based upon the discoveries of Cook’s voyages (1784) and Faden’s map of the United States, the second of two states dated 1793, with numerous additions within the map, marking the short-lived state of Franklinia.” (Notes taken from dealer.)
