Printed for J. Hinton at the King's Arms in St Paul's Church Yard, 1748. Copper engraving on a single sheet, 525 x 200 mm.

The final compilation view "A View of the Commodore's Tent and the Island of Juan Fernandes" has been modified with the addition of two sea lions in the foreground> Anson is depicted with his back to the viewer, looking towards his tents, and flanked by a male and female sea lion rather incongruously reclining in the wooded landscape. This map was issued in the Universal Magazine in 1748 reflecting the contemporary interest in Anson's voyage. The maps in the Universal Magazine are among the "...best executed and most attractive of magazine maps...many (with) decorative cartouches." David Jolly. Maps in British Periodicals, Part I. Blookline, MA, 1990. p. 188.

The Sluices and Weirs on the River Avon from Stratford to Tewksbury.
ms., c. 1630. Large manuscript coloured map on vellum, 740 x 530 mm. Probably created in the early 17th century to mark the positions of the sluices and weirs prior to improvements to the river. Between 1635 and 1641 pound locks and gates were built around various mills on the river, none of which are shown here, to make it navigable to barges without loss of water from the older flash locks which would have affected the operation of the numerous mills on the river, all of which are marked and illustrated here. This shows 7 weirs and 14 sluices which would have to be improved for river navigation.
