His work gave British navigators a particular advantage over the competition.

The 'Itinerary' has two road maps of England & Wales, with extensive indexes of the roads. The adverts list some of Cary's maps, with one page dedicated to his globes. The empty pockets in the covers would most likely contain larger folding maps not called for in either the 'Companion' or 'Itinerary'. Henry Pakenham-Mahon (1851-1922) was an amateur photographer: in 2012, a collection of 324 of his glass plates was uncovered at Strokestown Park including several explicit images of live models. Strokestown (in County Roscommon, Ireland) is now home to the National Irish Famine Museum. Henry's grandfather was Denis Mahon, whose responce to a rent strike by his tenants at Strokestown was to evict them and force them to sail to Quebec in 1847, filling four ships. When news came back to Ireland that nearly half the passengers had died on route (primarily from cholera) Mahon was ambushed and shot dead, to general celebration.

Engraving on pewter, two sheets (of eight) conjoined, total 355 x 940mm. Repairs to folds. Ink stamps of the Paul Mellon Collection on reverse.
The bottom left corner of a map of Tudor London, engraved on pewter by George Vertue from a comtemporary woodcut in the possession of Sir Hans Sloane. The strip here shows Westminster, Whitehall, Lambeth Palace and Charing Cross, the buildings south of the Strand and Fleet Street, to St Paul's Cathedral and Barnard's Castle. Under the title is a list of buildings not present, as a guide to dating the map. Three examples of an anonymous woodcut map of London c.1570 exist, all now in institutions. Vertue, an enthusiastic member of the Society of Antiquaries, researched the map and attributed it to Ralph Agas (c.1540-1621), solely on the basis of a letter in which Agas spoke of his intentions of making such a plan. The style is much the same as Braun & Hogenberg, with the buildings shown in profile, and many of the details are shared. However on this plan St Paul's Cathedral is without the spire hit by lighting and destroyed in 1561 (not shown here as the building runs off the top of the present sheet).
