Historial <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> mapa<br />

Tot i el monopoli que havia aconseguit John Seller, William Berry als volts <strong>de</strong><br />

1680 va treure una col·lecció <strong>de</strong> <strong>mapes</strong> a gran foli basats en els <strong>mapes</strong> <strong>de</strong> Sanson<br />

(li van valdre el sobrenom <strong>de</strong> the English Sanson) que en principi van ser impresos<br />

i venuts per separat, però que el mateix Berry va reunir en un atles sense<br />

títol als volts <strong>de</strong> 1689.<br />

Es coneixen tres versions <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> mapa <strong>de</strong> <strong>Catalunya</strong> edita<strong>de</strong>s a Londres. Les dues<br />

primeres no porten any. La datació es pot fer per l’adreça <strong>de</strong> l’editor, ja que<br />

William Berry va treballar a “the Sign of the Globe Between Chering Cross and<br />

White Hall” entre 1676 i 1708, i a partir <strong>de</strong> les <strong>de</strong>dicatòries: Carles II va regnar<br />

entre 1660 i 1685, Anna I Stuart, entre 1702 i 1714. La tercera versió, <strong>de</strong>dicada<br />

a Jordi II i datada el 1740, és <strong>de</strong>guda a Emanuel Bowen (c.1693-1767), gravador<br />

i impressor <strong>de</strong> Londres, que va tenir el títol <strong>de</strong> gravador <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong>s <strong>mapes</strong> <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong><br />

rei, i a l’editor John Bowles. Potser va formar part <strong>de</strong> The Large English atlas,<br />

c.1763 o <strong>de</strong> The Royal English atlas, c.1764.<br />
