Author: Thomas Jefferys
Title: The Seven United Provinces with the Austrian, French & Dutch Netherlands (Map)
Description: London: Thomas Salmon, [1754?]. 8 x 9 inches. Very Good. 18th Century folded map originally published in Geographical and Historical Grammar. Scarce. Thomas Jefferys (ca. 1719-1771) was a prolific map publisher based in London. His father was a cutler, but Jefferys was apprenticed to Emanuel Bowen, a prominent mapmaker and engraver. He was made free of the Merchant Taylors’ Company in 1744. Jefferys was the Geographer to Frederick Price of Wales and, from 1760, to King George III. He is most known today for his maps of North America, and for his central place in the map trade—he not only sold maps commercially, but also imported the latest materials and had ties to several government bodies for whom he produced materials. .
