| Rare large chart of the Channel referencing surveys made by Edmund Halley during his temporary commission as a Royal Navy Captain in 1701. The map was published by Jeremiah Seller, a member of the famous Seller family of chart publishers and instrument makers. Charles Price, also mentioned as publisher, was a former engraver to the Seller firm who became a partner to Seller. Moll, who became an important and famous map publisher later in the 18th century is credited as the engraver on this map. [GB1911] |
