Captain Cook's ship, 'Endeavour', beached on the shore of New South Wales for repairs.

This scene was copied for the first French edition of Hawkesworth, 'Relation des voyages..' published 1774, but this example comes from a volume of Abbé Prevost's 'Histoire des Voyages', c.1777.

A clueless Englishman being given directions to the Palais Royal by a hairdresser standing outside his shop which is labelled 'Toupet, Perruquier'.

It is likely the 'Proprietor' is her nephew George Humphrey, who took over the business at her death in 1818.

The English Atlas. Volume II. Tome I. Anno 1681.
[Oxford, Moses Pitt, 1681.]
Engraving. 410 x 270mm, 16 x 10½". Trimmed close to plate.
One of the titlepages to the first English attempt at a 'Grand Atlas', a multi-volume atlas in the style of the Dutch cartographers. Moses Pitt began his plan to create the atlas in 1670, producing the first volume a decade later. He had to rely on existing Dutch maps rather than producing his own, negotiating use of the plates of Johannes Jansson to be published with English text. This volume contained maps of Germany, so this titlepage shows the Holy Roman Emperor (left) and his seven Electors. The double-headed eagle and arms at the top are overseen by the eye of the trinity. Originally intended to be a 12-volume set, arguments among the partners meant the project ground to a halt after four. In 1686 Pitt Atlas was arrested for debt and confined to the Fleet Prison and nothing is known of him after 1691.
