Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell, 1676, dec. engraved title-page and achievement of Charles II, additional title-page printed in red & black, dedications to the Lord Mayor of London, King James and ‘the Well-Affected and Favourable Reader’, contents and sectional titles, sixty-eight engraved general and county maps, five printed road tables, the ‘Prospect’ with twenty-eight maps of all parts of the world (including the double-hemisphere map of the world), together ninety-six engraved maps (complete as lists) all with bright early hand colouring, woodcut initials throughout also with contemporary hand colouring, occ. short closed tears to margins not affecting images, map of Radnorshire with closed tears repaired on verso, occ. short splits to base of central folds with some strengthening on verso, near contemp. mottled calf with central blind-stamped panel, neatly rebacked, some slight wear to extremities, folio Chubb XXVII, Skelton 92, Wing S4886. The only edition of the ‘Theatre’ and ‘Prospect’ in which the title-page lists both works, clearly showing that the Theatre was intended to precede the Prospect. A scarce atlas in remarkable condition with fine early hand colouring.

John Speed (1552 - 1629) was the son of a Cheshire tailor. Although he followed his father into the trade and was a member of the Merchant Taylors Company his passion lay in the study of cartography and antiquities. With the backing of Sir Fulke Greville’s patronage, Speed published his ‘Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain’ in 1611. The maps with their aerial views of the county towns, elaborate heraldic decoration and illustrations of battles and portraits raised the atlas from the functional, to the level of a work of art. It’s pre-eminence has continued to the present day with John Speed’s maps being the best known and arguably the most popular and collectable maps by any cartographer.

When Bassett and Chiswell published their 1676 edition of Speed’s ‘Theatre’ and ‘Prospect’ they were faced with the problem that the ‘Prospect’ was completely out of date. The existing maps were subject to minor alterations but a completely new section was added to the atlas; ‘His Majesty’s Dominions Abroad’. New maps, engraved by Francis Lamb were added to the atlas, including Jamaica and Barbados, New England, Virginia and the Carolinas. These maps were drawn from a variety of sources but such is the continuity of style and design that they blend in with the original maps almost seamlessly creating one of the most important atlases to emerge from the 17th century.

A highly ambitious work which bizarrely had an effect on the publiction of Newton’s ‘Principia Mathematica’. The work which carries Willughby’s name was a joint enterprise with John Ray and their work was a major step forward in the classification of fish. The Royal Society was responsible for the printing of the plates, many of which were sponsered by individual fellows at a cost of one guinea each; the pages of text were printed separately. Unfortunately this ambitious work did not sell well and the resulting financial deficit made it impossible for the Society to pay for the publication of ‘Principia Mathematica’. Scarce.

He has more than once got me into difficulties by coming here - and writing to his friends at Lowther absolute fabrications. For instance he wrote to Lord Laudale that I had determined in moving an amendment to the address - and had formed an ingenious Plan of a Parliamentary Campaign - about neither of which I had ever dreamed.

Henry Wallis was a notable painter and ceramics expert. 'By early 1855 Wallis was acquainted with the novelist and poet George Meredith. This led to Meredith's posing for the face of the dead poet Thomas Chatterton in Wallis's painting Chatterton (Tate collection), which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1856. This picture made Wallis famous overnight: John Ruskin, for example, described it as ‘faultless and wonderful’ (Parris, 144).

Its continuing fascination for the public owes much to the way in which it is inextricably linked with a real-life ‘romance’: in the summer of 1857, if not before, Wallis and Meredith's wife, Mary Ellen, daughter of Thomas Love Peacock, became lovers. Mary Meredith left her husband, and had a son with Wallis, Harold (Felix) Meredith (later Wallis) in April 1858. Mary Ellen died in October 1861.' (DNB).

In 1859 he came into a comfortable inheritance and, though he remained a Royal Academy exhibitor until 1877, he never again made the same artistic impact. His energies were then largely spent travelling abroad and writing on archaeology, ceramics, and Renaissance, much of which was published in the Art Journal between 1882 and 1890. He also published twenty volumes on Persian, Egyptian, Greek, and Byzantine ceramics often using his own illustrations. He died, unmarried, at his home in Croydon and was buried in Highgate cemetery.

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.

2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 17.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 17.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof.

10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage for which insurance the Auctioneer will charge a premium of £1.50 per £100. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots.

14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein.

15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
