Sayer, Robert (sold)
Robert Sayer (1725 - January 29, 1794) was an important English map publisher and engraver active from the mid to late 18th century. Sayer was born in Sunderland, England, in 1725. He may have clerked as a young man with the Bank of England, but this is unclear. His brother, James Sayer, married Mary Overton, daughter-in-law of John Overton and widow of Philip Overton. Sayer initially worked under Mary Overton, but by December of 1748 was managing the Overton enterprise and gradually took it over, transitioning the plates to his own name. When Thomas Jefferys went bankrupt in 1766, Sayer offered financial assistance to help him stay in business and, in this way, acquired rights to many of the important Jefferys map plates as well as his unpublished research. From about 1774, he began publishing with his apprentice, John Bennett (fl. 1770 - 1784), as Sayer and Bennett, but the partnership was not formalized until 1777. Bennett retired in 1784 following a mental collapse and the imprint reverted to Robert Sayer. From 1790, Sayer added Robert Laurie and James Whittle to his enterprise, renaming the firm Robert Sayer and Company. Ultimately, Laurie and Whittle partnered to take over his firm. Sayer retired to Bath, where, after a long illness, he died. During most of his career, Sayer was based at 53 Fleet Street, London. His work is particularly significant for its publication of many British maps relating to the American Revolutionary War. Unlike many map makers of his generation, Sayer was a good businessman and left a personal fortune and great estate to his son, James Sayer, who never worked in the publishing business.

This 1775 Jefferys map of Belize, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador is the earliest, acquirable, detailed map to focus on the region. It is informationally rich, showing anchorages, depth soundings and common sailing routes (replete with dozens of ships.) The region’s plentiful reefs, islands and lagoons are shown and named. This map brings into sharp focus coastal Belize and Honduras where English privateers and merchants had long operated – shortly after Spain began to tolerate their presence, but just prior to Britain’s official administration of Belize as a colony.

A wonderful 1775 map of the Americas or Western Hemisphere by John Green, also known as Braddock Mead. The map in fact consists of three related maps covering, from top: Canada and the Arctic; the modern day United States, Central America, and the West Indies; and South America. The map is a masterpiece of late 18th century cartography by one of the least understood and most controversial cartographers of his age. Mead composed the map in protest to what he believed to be the flagrantly spurious and irresponsible speculative cartography of Frenchmen Joseph-Nicolas De l'Isle (1688 - 1768) and Phillipe Buache (1700 - 1773).

This is a rare, separately issued German edition of the best-informed map available focusing on the northern theatre of the American Revolution: Samuel Holland's 1775 map of The Provinces of New York and New Jersey, in its final version corrected by Governor Thomas Pownall. This map was published by the heirs of Harry Lodowick Broenner, a Frankfurt-am-Main bookseller, whose forays into cartography were characterized by the swift reproduction of up-to-date maps, topically relevant to Frankfurter interests. As the Holland-Pownall map provided the best available view of the American war zone in which Hessian mercenaries were expected to be active, it would have been an apt target for the Broenners.

It extends south roughly as far as China's eastern Shandong Province. Korea exhibits a distinctly square base, and, as with much of this map, is consistent with the innovative cartography of J. B. B. D'Anville, one of the preeminent mapmakers of the period. The sea between Japan and Korea, alternately called the Sea of Korea or the Sea of Japan, depending on the mapmaker, is here settled in favor of Korea. The great wall is noted. (more details)

This is the 1791 Robert Sayer map of Charleston, South Carolina, one of the rarest and best Revolutionary War maps of that city. The map was issued to illustrate the 1776 Battle of Sullivan's Island, the first decisive American victory over the seemingly invincible British Royal Navy - the achievement shocked the world and protected Charleston during a critical early stage of the American Revolution (1775 - 1783). The British did not again attempt to retake the southern colonies until 1778. Moreover, unlike smaller plans by Faden which illustrate only the Attack on Fort Sullivan, this plan provides a detailed account of the British movements throughout the battle and captures significantly more information.

The map reflects the geopolitical order created by American Independence: the 1783 Treaty of Paris boundary divides the United States from British Canada, while Vermont, admitted to the Union only three years earlier, appears in one of its earliest dated cartographic representations. The map offers a striking cartographic portrait of redrawn political boundaries that remained far from settled. (more details)
