236 [Asia Wall Map] ARROWSMITH, Aaron.
Asia. To Major James Rennell, Esq.r F.R.S. &c. &c. This Map is Inscribed, by His much Obliged Humble Servant A: Arrowsmith, Hydrographer to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. London: Arrowsmith, 1801. Original colour. Dissected and laid on linen, as issued, total 1260 x 1470mm.
A superbly detailed wall map, marking the routes of the explorers. However, even at this late date, parts of Japan are taken from Jansson's sea chart of 1658! Although the publication line gives the date 1801, Arrowmith did not move to Soho Square until 1808, or become Hydrographer to the Prince of Wales until c.1810. James Rennell, to whom the map was dedicated, was surveyor-general of the East India Company's dominions in Bengal, publishing the 'Bengal Atlas' in 1779. He also prepared the maps for the account of Mungo Park's expedition in Africa, 1797, and his work on ocean currents around the British Isles, specifically the Gulf Stream, caused him to be described as "the founder of oceanography" by Clements Markham, President of the Royal Geographical Society. 		£2,500
