London: James Rennell, 1798. Some original outline colour. 255 x 660mm. Top edge slightly trimmed for binding, new margin added. The official map of the route of the Scottish explorer Mungo Park (1774-1806) in search of the Niger, here published in his 'Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa'. Under the patronage of Sir Joseph Banks and the African Association, Park travelled to Africa to seek the source of the River Niger (1795-7). His expedition was delayed by captivity and illness (he spent seven months convalescing in a man's home), and he was believed dead when he returned to Britain. Park had little experience as a cartographer, so the job of compiling the maps for the official account fell to Major James Rennell, former cartographer to the East India Company in Bengal. He too had fallen foul of locals and had to retire from active service because of the wounds he had received. He became a research cartographer, becoming a pioneer of oceanography. He used a variety of sources to compile this map and in doing so made his greatest cartographic error: he extrapolated a single mountain seen by Park into a huge range, creating the 'Mountains of Kong', which blighted maps of West Africa for most of the nineteenth century. Here they are referred to in a note 'A Chain of Great Mountains extends along these Parallels'.

Bel exemplaire, très élégant, et bien frais dans l'ensemble. L'Insdostan s'étendait de l'Himalaya au Nord, jusqu'à la presqu'île de Malabar et de Coromandel au Sud, c'est-à-dire la majeure partie de l'Inde à cette époque. L'étude de James Rennel est presque exclusivement géographique, et seul un chapitre sur la chute du grand Mogol sacrifie à l'aspect historique exception pour l'introduction au tome premier sur l'origine de L'Indostan et les conquêtes européennes. L'ouvrage fut très bien accueilli en Angleterre, Rennel fournissait assurément des renseignements précis et utiles à quiconque se rendait dans ces contrées. Afin de compléter la géographie physique et humaine de l'Indostan, l'édition française a ajouté plusieurs chapitres, une introduction de textes traduits par Castera sur l'histoire de l'Inde, la bibliographie des voyageurs, et qui forment une grande partie du troisième volume ; on relèvera avec intérêt le Voyage au Thibet de Samuel Turner.

First edition. 4to. Handsomely bound in full nineteenth-century blue calf with gilt decorative borders to the upper and lower boards. The spine with four raised bands, gilt titles, and compartments richly decorated in gilt. Marbling to page edges and endpapers. Illustrated with an engraved portrait frontispiece and 11 engraved maps (all but one folding). A near-fine copy, the binding square, firm and bright with a little rubbing and scuffing to the boards and bumping to the corners. The contents with the small gilt armorial ownership label of Granville Hastings Wheler to the front pastedown, contemporary neat ink stamp for the same to the head of the title page, scattered toning and faint spotting, a crease to the corner of three text pages (one with a small marginal tear), and with one map with a few creases, a small marginal tear and standing a little proud of the text block, are otherwise unusually clean and fresh. The other maps remain in excellent condition, with just a minor crease to one, and a little creasing to the margins of two others. A superb copy of Rennell's important work on ancient geography - "a monument of laborious research and acute and lucid criticism" - which attempted to reconcile ancient geographical knowledge with modern discoveries (ODNB). The work is perhaps most famous for its series of attractive and finely detailed maps of the Near East, the Mediterranean and Africa by John Walker, engraver to the Admiralty. These include two maps of the world according to Herodotus, maps of Western Scythia, Hellespont, Bosporus, Babylon, Egypt, Memphis, Libya, the circumnavigation of Africa by the Egyptians under Pharaoh Necho II (610-595 BC), and the voyage of Hanno the Navigator (500 BC), a major voyage of discovery in west Africa and one of the earliest voyages to traverse the Pillars of Hercules in an attempt to extend maritime discovery beyond the Mediterranean. James Rennell (1742-1830) was one of the foremost cartographers of his generation and a key pioneer of oceanography. After spending several years conducting an ambitious and extensive mapping project for the East India Company in Bengal and other parts of the Indian subcontinent, Rennell returned to England and dedicated himself to historical and cartographical scholarship. Elected to the Royal Society in 1781, he was awarded their prestigious Copley Medal ten years later (previously awarded to Captain Cook in 1776 for his study on the alleviation of scurvy), and in 1830 became one of the founding members of the Royal Geographical Society.

Vienna: F.A. Schraemble, 1788. Original outline colour. Four sheets conjoined, total 1190 x 1460mm. Minor repairs to binding folds. A huge map of India, based on Robert Sayer's four-sheet enlarged version of James Rennell's landmark map of India of 1782, but reintroducing the original's decorative vignette of Britannia receiving a 'Shaster' ('Shastra', a Hindu book of rules). Beginning in 1764, James Rennell (1742-1830) surveyed Bengal for the East India Company under the patronage of Robert Clive & Warren Hastings, with a particular focus on the rivers, so important to trade in the absence of a regular road system, especially in the approaches to Calcutta. After over a decade of work Rennell was forced to retire, having been seriously wounded in 1766, and retired to England, where he started work on his 'atlas'. The quality of his work was such that when it was first published in 1780 (not 1779 as is often quoted because of the date on the maps) it earned him a fellowship of the Royal Society (1781) and the sobriquet 'the father of Indian cartography'.

Zustand: A very good example. Edition : Second edition, Recent half red morocco over marbled boards, spine elaborately gilt. , James Rennell: The Father of the Indian Survey Major James Rennell (1742-1830) , received training on surveying in the Royal Navy, joined the East India Company in 1763, was the first Surveyor General of Bengal (1767-1777), and carried out the first comprehensive geographical survey of much of India. The survey was a massive undertaking that mapped parts of India at a greater detail than many European countries had been mapped (Goss, p. 246). His survey led to The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India which began in 1802 (See the exhibit section: "The Survey of India"). He is most known for his Bengal Atlas of 1779 and Memoir of a Map of Hindoostan (1782). Renell continually updated his maps for accuracy and added new geographical information, using indigenous maps and drawings as sources for his maps of the Punjab region. His cartographic methods included gleaning information from earlier maps, measuring distances along roads, establishing the coordinates of control points, and then creating a ?graticule? or grid to create his maps (Edney, p.17-8). Rennell?s maps were of such accuracy and quality that they were used well into the 19th century. Rennell returned to England in 1782 where he continued to write and publish works on geography, history, and became an expert in the mapping and study of ocean currents. , Size : Folio 480mmx 345mm, Letterpress title and contents leaf, engraved index map, double-page view and 23 (numbered 29) maps, all but one double-page, some also folding, the first ten with outline hand-colouring, with a further 3 maps of Hindostan by Rennell on 8 double-page and/or folding engraved sheets bound in at end, all with outline hand-colouring, some with cartouches, additional maps added to list of contents in manuscript, all mounted on stubs.The 3 additional engraved maps by Rennell bound in are: Map of Bengal, Bahar, Oude and Allahabad, 1786 (2 sheets); General Map of Hindoostan, 1782 (2 sheets); General Map of Hindoostan, 1788 (4 sheets). , References : Shirley, British Library T.RENN.
