Seale, Richard William (sold)
Richard William Seale (December 1703 - May 25, 1762) was an English a mapmaker and engraver active in London during the middle part of the 18th century. Seale was the son of Richard and Elizabeth Seale. Richard, his father, was a member of the Stationers Company, suggesting that printing and engraving must have been a family trade. Nonetheless, he did not learn the trade from his father, but rather from Samuel Parker of Clerkenwell, to whom he was apprenticed in 1719. Seale was extremely active as an engraver and publisher from about 1740 until his death in 1762. His cartographic corpus is vast; including pieces engraved for most other notable English cartographers of his period: Willdey, Baron, Toms, Rocque, Basire, Bowles, Benning, among others. In addition to cartographic work, Seale also produce numerous architectural engravings.

This attractive 1748 engraving includes charts of the harbors of Acapulco, Mexico and Manila in the Philippines, the two chief ports for Spanish galleons crossing the Pacific Ocean. They are accompanied, at the top, with a coastal view of the Ladrone Islands: these were the usual midway point for the route between the two charted ports. The map accompanied the 1748 volume describing George Anson's privateering voyage around the world, wherein Anson led eight ships on a mission to disrupt, capture and despoil Spain's holdings in the Pacific. As Acapulco and Manila were essential ports at each end of a Spanish Pacific voyage, the inclusion of these charts in Anson's work was essential. Despite two ships having to return home, and one ship - the Wager - succumbing to mutiny, Anson's venture was a success; he returned to wealth and acclaim. (more details)
