This very rare fine sea chart of the Aegean Sea was first published in Mount & Page’s ‘English Pilot Part Three’ covering that particular region in 1716. Engraved by Samuel Parker this example is from the 1727 edition. Dotted or ‘Prickt Lines shows The best Passage up the Arches’. The ‘Arches’ were the colloquial name for the Archipelago. There is a fascinating depiction of Sentorim (Santorini) with a nearby ‘Burning I’ showing an erupting volcano. NMM 425 no. 146; Shirley ‘Atlases in the BL’ M.M&P 3b no. 24; Sphyroeras, Avramea and Asdrahas ‘Maps and Map-Makers of the Aegean’ fig. 127 (incorrectly attributing the map to Seller); Zacharakis 2162.
