Detailed map of the central part of Tasmania (the north-west, north-east and southern extremities are omitted), highlighting the Tasmanian Main Line Railway from Hobart Town to Launceston, which is overprinted in red.

AMERICAS 101 Very Scarce Map Of The English Possessions In America LEA, Philip. 'A Generall Map Of the Continent and Islands which bee Adjacent to JAMAICA, By Phillip Lea Globe maker at the Atlas & Hercules in Cheapside at the Corner of Fryday Street LONDON.' 'A NEW MAPP of the ISLAND of JAMAICA Wherein Every [list of symbols in 2 columns] is Described w.th the Names of the Present Proprietors. According to a late Survay thear of P. Lea.' London: Philip Lea, [ca. 1687]; copperplate engraving, the South East / West Indies: border: 230 x 561 inset: widest: 178 x 146 mm; Jamaica: 252 x 562 sheet outer border: 482 x 562 platemark: 488 x 572mm, in original outline colour. Light staining outside the lower centrefold, otherwise a good example. Very scarce map of the English possessions in the Americas, in two sections. The upper section gives an overview of the English Colonies on the North American mainland, and in the West Indies as far south as Barbados. The lower section is a detailed map of Jamaica, an early English delineation of the island. This map was first advertised for sale by Lea in 1685, as 'A New Large Sheet Map of Jamaica; wherein every Town, Church, Sugar-Work, etc. is described, with the Names of the Proprietors, according to a late Survey thereof. Price 1s. Sold by Philip Lea at the Atlas and Hercules in the Poultrey' (Term Catalogues, for Trinity Term 1685). However, no example with Lea's Poultry address is recorded. This, presumed, second state has Lea's address revised to read 'Atlas & Hercules in Cheapside at the Corner of Fryday Street', where he moved in 1687. This is one of the earliest general depictions of the English Colonies in the Americas available to a collector. It seems likely that the Jamaica map was included because of the increasing economic importance of the West Indies' islands, on account of sugar.
