|
Published by R.Mount and T.Page. The publishing house of
Mount and Page was closely connected with the production of
the later editions of the important `The English Pilot'
series, initiated by John Seller and John Thornton. The
publication had a long life with new editions constantly
appearing as the work was revised and brought up to date.
Sometimes the plates were altered, sometimes entirely new
plates were engraved. No library has anything like a
complete set, and most of the volumes are rare, particularly
the early issues.
This chart of the British Isles is of an older style than
the publication date suggests. It is reminiscent of the work
of Dutch cartographers such as Peter Goos, who was working
in the mid seventeenth century. It is decorated by the coats
of arms of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland.
