Jonathan Potter Limited A Selection Of Stock And Some Recent Acquisitions

A very busy year has made production of this catalogue particularly difficult as we have simply been otherwise occupied, but we hope our clients have enjoyed our recent newsletters Encompass, our revitalised website www.jpmaps.co.uk, and our latest gallery exhibits.

Nevertheless, we are always pleased to produce a printed catalogue which has some interesting and rare material to offer ranging in age from Heinrich Schedel‟s 500 year-old spectacular woodblock panoramas of Central European cities to just over 100 year-old accounts of the Boer War, in price from below one hundred to many thousands of pounds, and in size from Reuben Ramble‟s charming English county miniatures to multi-sheet wall-maps. Within the catalogue are maps, plans and charts, many of them notably fine, decorative or rare, and varying in appearance from the extraordinary to the mundane but, nevertheless, interesting.

In closing, may we take this opportunity to wish all our friends in the map collecting world happy holidays and a great 2008.

Jonathan Potter.

Sanson‟s work lacked the artistic and decorative elements typifying Dutch output until Alexis Hubert Jaillot collaborated with Guillaume Sanson, Nicolas‟s son, to produce an atlas to rival and, in fact, outshine the Dutch cartographers for the elegance of engraving, quality of design and printing, artistic flourishes, and, not least, size. Printed on two sheets joined and here in full original colour, Jaillot‟s map of the whole continent gives a good assessment of current knowledge.

As such, it stood out as a model for the folio pilot guides of the seventeenth century. Professor Koeman writes; “Thanks to the unparalleled skill of the engravers Baptist and Johannes Van Deutecom, the original manuscript maps were transformed into the most beautiful maps of the period. The composition and adornment have greatly contributed to the splendour of what originally were simple sketch charts; the typography of the Plantin printing house further added to the quality of the book”.

Welsh County Maps by John Speed Notes

John Speed (1552-1629) is arguably the most famous English cartographer of any period as a result of his atlas The Theatre Of The Empire Of Great Britaine. Because they are so informative and decorative, the individual maps are the best known and among the most sought- after of all county maps. The maps themselves were derived from the best and most up-to-date sources available. However, Speed also made innovations of his own - introducing town plans on most of the maps as well as the coats of arms of local families.
