Buy this book on-line LEA, Philip : Devon=Shire Described by C. Saxton Corrected, Amended, and many Additions by P: Lea
390 x 450 mm., early outline colour, even light toning throughout. There is no centrefold to the map indicating a separate issue however it is curiously folded horizontally two-thirds of the way down.
From an edition of Saxton’s atlas by Philip Lea circa 1693, this plate did not appear in Christopher Saxton’s original atlas. It is engraved by Francis Lamb and made its first appearance in the earlier 1689 edition by Philip Lea which survives in just three known examples. Here the map is found in its second state with the addition of roads, crosses, crowns and a mitre. Although the original Christopher Saxton copper plates came into the hands of Philip Lea sometime in or before 1689 the fate of two of the plates is unclear, Devon and Northumberland never reappear suggesting that they might have been lost in the Great Fire of London in 1666. They were replaced by plates engraved for Lea; that of Devon is signed by the engraver Francis Lamb. For further details of Lea’s issues of the Saxton atlas please see the entries for Saxton. Batten & Bennett no. 19 state 2; Skelton (1970) pp. 175 & 179.
