Rare Morden & Berry edition of John Seller's map of the same title, engraved by Lamb. Extends from Normandy and Southhampton to Texel and York, centered on Essex, Kent and Suffolk, along with the Flemish Coast and Antwerp. The map has been remargined, with some neat line reinstated, but is in generally good condition, with a nice dark impression. Extremely rare. We were not able to locate any auction or dealer records for the map dating back 30 years.
Robert Morden (d. 1703) was a British map and globe maker. Little is known about his early life, although he was most likely apprenticed to Joseph Moxon. By 1671, Morden was working from the sign of the Atlas on Cornhill, the same address out of which Moxon had previously worked. Most famous for his English county maps, his geography texts, and his wall maps, Morden entered into many partnerships during his career, usually to finance larger publishing projects.
