Facsimile edition of volume first published by Cambridge University Press in 1925. (Besterman 1169).

His New and Correct English Atlas appeared in 1787, followed by county atlases. The New Universal Atlas, for which he is best known, first appeared in 1808. Fordham, rightfully considered one of the century's foremost experts in the history of cartography, meticulously describes 300 of Cary's works. This title has always been hard to find. Though once reprinted, all copies are uncommon.

Gestel, Paula van, Joop Kaashoek, Hans van der Zwan, Henk Schipper, Rob Poelijoe, and Jaap Molenaar MAPS IN BOOKS OF RUSSIA AND POLAND PUBLISHED IN THE NETHERLANDS TO 1800
Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2011 9.5 x 12 inches hardcover, dust jacket 750 pages
This publication originated from a decision to embark on researching maps in books. Maps in Books of Russia and Poland is a unique combination of maps, plans, and views that concerns the historical and geographical works of Russia and Poland published in the Netherlands prior to 1800. Both maps and books are elaborately described, analyzed and indexed; much attention has also been given to the authors, engravers and publishers.

Subdividing the maps according to their regions, this book brings to light the specific interrelation between the various works by differing authors. The comprehensive introduction describes the history of Russia and Poland from various points of view for specific subjects and comes richly illustrated with over 100 images. The cartobibliography contains illustrations for each of the 700 maps described and the bibliography features a large number of title pages and portraits. A large folding view of the city of Moscow (12 x 72 inches) by Cornelis de Bruijn (1711) has been added in facsimile at the back of this publication. Summaries in Russian and Polish complete this publication.

This unusual combination of research objectives should appeal to map and book historians and collectors alike.

Maps in books of Russia and Poland is part 13 of the Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography. The series has been prepared under the direction of the Research Program URU-Explokart of the University Utrecht and is aimed at both researchers and laymen with an interest in these matters.

Krogt, P. van der, Elger Heere (editors) GUIDES TO DUTCH ATLAS MAPS: THE BRITISH ISLES, VOLUME 1: ENGLAND.
New Castle and Houten Oak Knoll Press and HES & DE GRAAF 2011 5 x 9.5 inches Hardcover 256 pages
This is the first in a series of sixteen reference guides designed for the historic and antique map collector, curator, or enthusiast. Between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the Netherlands had a thriving map production and publishing industry, with figures like Johannes Blaeu and Abraham Ortelius leading the Dutch cartographic industry. The maps produced in these three centuries are now rare and highly sought after by a large community of collectors, map curators, dealers of antiquities, and enthusiasts.

This series will provide short, clear, and academically valid information about all Dutch atlas maps regarding a certain country or area. Counties and regions to be examined include Scandinavia, Baltic/Russia, Germany, Austria/Hungary, France, Switzerland, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Asia, Africa, and America. Each part will detail the edition of the atlas(es) in which the maps have been incorporated, the year of publication, the known states, cartographic references, and remarks by the author.

This first volume offers a descriptive catalogue of all the maps of England and English counties, published in Dutch atlases between 1570 and 1650. The catalogue of maps is preceded by a guide to the descriptions and a comprehensive list of the atlases cited. The map descriptions are given in a simplified ISBD format listing map number as it appears in the Atlantis Neerlandici, area description, title, translated title (usually from Latin to English), imprint, dimensions, notes (on the map, mapped area, the atlas in which the map first appeared, or the person to whom the map is dedicated), occurrence in atlases, and references to general carto-bibliographies or literature. Each entry is accompanied by a black-and-white map illustration. The book also contains biographies of Dutch atlas publishers including Abraham Ortelius, Gerard Mercator, Hondius & Janssonius, The Blaeus, and others.
