About the Item

Asia SENEX, John. Asia Corrected from the Observations communicated to the Royal Society at London and the Royal Academy at Paris. By John Senex F.R.S. To The Honorable Sr. George Markham. Baronet. This Map is Dedicated by his humble Obedient Serv[an]t John Senex. John Senex, at the Globe against St Dunstans Church, Fleetstreet, London 1710 [-1728]. John Senex (1678-1740) was one of the foremost mapmakers in England in the early eighteenth century. He was also a surveyor, globemaker, and geographer. As a young man, he was apprenticed to Robert Clavell, a bookseller. He worked with several mapmakers over the course of his career, including Jeremiah Seller and Charles Price. In 1728, Senex was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society, a rarity for mapmakers. The Fellowship reflects his career-long association as engraver to the Society and publisher of maps by Edmund Halley, among other luminaries. He is best known for his English Atlas (1714), which remained in print until the 1760s. After his death in 1740 his widow, Mary, carried on the business until 1755. Thereafter, his stock was acquired by William Herbert and Robert Sayer (maps) and James Ferguson (globes). Double-page engraved map on 2 sheets joined, with full contemporary hand-colouring, size: 660 mm by 960 mm, sheet size: 680 by 1002 mm. Some light soiling.
