Description
Summary:Shows Baffin Bay east to Siberia; western arctic blank with dates of discovery of Greenland, of continents and the islands. .; From Cutler et. al. Atlas maritimus et commercialis, 1728.; "21" -- lower right corner.; With numerous rhumb lines and four compass roses.; The present chart was part of a collaboration taken up by John Senex (1678-1740), the Royal Geographer to the King, and John Harris, probably the finest mathematical instrument maker in England during the 1720s, as part of a sea atlas developed by Senex and Harris, to compete with Mount & Page’s wildly popular English Pilot sea series. It was published in the Atlas Maritimus et commercialis, or A general view of the world. (London: James and John Knapton et al., 1728). Grayscale;
