The additional maps of England and Spain bear the imprint of Sayer; Asia, Africa Egypt, America and the West Indies are from the stock of Laurie and Whittle, all used in editions of the Sayer/Laurie and Whittle General atlas. Among other highlights in this atlas are Delarochette’s map of Cape Providence (1782), Henry Robert’s maps of the world and the northwest coast of America based upon the discoveries of Cook’s voyages (1784) and Faden’s map of the United States, the second of two states dated 1793, with numerous additions within the map, marking the short-lived state of Franklinia.” (Notes taken from dealer.)
