This creation earned Hand the nickname 'Captain Bun', and would soon take on the name of the shop, becoming widely known as the Chelsea Bun within a matter of years. Indeed, in 1711, Jonathan Swift mentions the """"Rrrrrrrrrare Chelsea buns"""" in his journal. For the next century, the Chelsea Bun retained its extraordinary popularity, receiving the…

One image shows the Jethro Coffin House, the oldest house built in Nantucket in 1686 and the only surviving structure on the island from the seventeenth century English settlement.

Globe, 12 hand-coloured engraved paper gores, over papier mâché and plaster sphere, varnished, housed in original shagreen case with rims painted red and two original brass hooks and eyes. Biography James Ferguson (1710-1776) was a Scottish autodidact who settled in London after a peripatetic life involving spells as a shepherd, miller, engineer, astronomer and lecturer. In his autobiography, he claims that, at the age of 20, he "made a globe in three weeks at my father's, having turned the ball thereof out of a piece of wood, which ball I covered with paper, and delineated a map of the world upon itmade the meridian ring and horizon of woodcovered them with paper, and graduated them" (Ferguson, p.21). In 1755, he purchased the vast majority of the plates and instruments previously owned by John Senex, a leading producer of pocket globe.

London,, [c1685].. 450 by 550mm. (17.75 by 21.75 inches).. First state. Double-page engraved map (450 by 550mm to the neatline, full margins showing the plate mark), with early hand-colour in outline (one or two pale stains). "In May 1685 John Thornton, Robert Morden and Philip Lea advertised for sale a multi-sheet map entitled 'A New Map of the English Empire in the Continent of America'. Although earlier multi-sheet maps of the Americas existed, namely the Augustine Herrman 1673[74], none survive that were of the entire English colonies in North America" (Burden). The only known example of their advertised map is held in the Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris. The multi-sheet map was designed in such a manner that allowed for some of the sheets to be issued separately, as in the present example: "This can be shown by the fact that the title runs in a narrow border along the top, so that when made up as a wall map it may be pasted or cut out. A main area of the debate is whether the map appears in an…

From the 1770s to the 1840s embroidered maps or map samplers were part of a young ladies education in England and the United States, demonstrating both her grasp of geography and her skill at needlework. "By the end of the eighteenth century it became possible to print from an engraved copper plate onto silk, and several British map publishers, especially those which were producing other educational products such as dissected maps, began to print not only paper map patterns, but also engraved maps on silk or satin "for young ladies' needlework".... the Dartons, Bowles & Carver, John Spilsbury and Laurie & Whittle were the major names. All were map publishers, and they were also involved in the popularity of games and dissected maps. Laurie & Whittle, located in Fleet Street in London, produced a number of silk printed…

The first world map on polar projection to be published by an Englishman. Polar Projection Polar projection is a type of azimuthal projection based on a plane perpendicular to the Earth's axis through the poles. On polar-centered azimuthal projections, longitude is represented by radial straight lines, and latitude by concentric circles, or parallels. One of the earliest examples of a polar map of this kind is Mercator's 1569 world map, on which the Arctic is shown in an inset map on a polar projection, rather than included as part of the main image on the eponymous cartographer's projection.

London,: Herman Moll,, 1727.. Two engraved maps on the same sheet with hand colouring. Very scarce composite plate with separate maps of Minorca (157 x 173 mm) and Gibraltar (110 x 106 mm), the principal acquisitions of the British in the Mediterranean from the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is assumed that the plate was first engraved in 1713 or 1714; the only example of this first state encountered came from the Macclesfield's collection. The joint imprint of Moll and John King sr. places this printing in the mid-1720s, no doubt during the siege of 1727. The title-page of the second edition of Jacques Ozanam's A Treatise of Fortification notes 'To which is prefix'd a PLAN of Gibraltar, &c. with all its Fortifications as they are at present, shewing the great Strength and Use of it, &c.

London,: Henry Overton,, 1738.. 1498 by 1600mm. (59 by 63 inches).. Engraved map on four sheets, with fine original hand-colour. Henry Overton (1676-1751) was a publisher and mapseller who followed in the footsteps of his father, John Overton, when he took over his shop and stock in 1707. Over the course of his career he published a large number of maps, as well as numerous views, portraits and sporting prints. Overton's maps were largely focused on the British Isles, and he also produced revised and updated editions of John Speed's country atlas. One of his most visually striking and rarest works, however, is 'A New Mapp of the World by Henry Overton'. The map describes the world in two hemispheres, with two smaller pairs of hemispheres above and below, showing the heavens and the polar regions respectively. This design reflects the world maps published by Gerard Valk at the end of the seventeenth century, but Overton's geographical configuration is notably less sophisticated, corresponding more…

This large and detailed plan of London is very similar stylistically to much of the output of John Rocque, although Stockdale is somewhat sparser, with few baroque flourishes. The plan is dated 1797, yet it was clearly issued some twelve years late as it not only shows the West India Docks (opened in 1802), the London Docks (opened in 1805), and the East India Docks (opened in 1806), but also the Croydon Canal, which was not in use until 1809. Also shown are the intended routes, marked by dotted lines, of Regent's Bridge (later renamed Vauxhall Bridge), and Waterloo Bridge. Scale: 6 1/2 inches to one statute mile.
