John Seller 1634-1697

(i) Chart of the South-East Coast of Ireland

(ii) Chart of the South Coast of Ireland

These two charts were printed from separate plates (a above b) on one page of The English Pilot, Southern Navigation (1672) and the Atlas Maritimus. The top half can be found on a separate sheet, but when printed together, the lower edge of the upper plate is omitted, reducing the total height by about 15 mm. from the above figures.

(i) This shows the coast from south of Waterford to Kilkeel. It is entitled in a cartouche of strap-work in the top-centre "A Chart of the East side of Ireland, from Waterford to Carlingford, shewing all the havens, Bayes, harbours, sands, depths and dangers, on the said Coast newly corrected and Published by Iohn Seller. And are to be sold at the Signe of the Mariners Compass at the Hermitage Stayres in Wapping." There are three compass roses showing north to the right, and one ship, but no scale of latitude or longitude. The scale in the top right corner reads "A Scale of English leagues 20 in one degree 10 [= 132 mm.]." 545 x 245 mm.

(ii) This covers the south coast of Ireland from Cape Clear to Waterford. It is entitled in a cartouche of strap-work and fruit, in the top left corner "A Discription of the West side of Ireland from Cape Clere to the River of Waterford, shewing all the Roads and Harbors on the said Coast, newly Corrected by Iohn Seller. And are to be sold at his Shop, at the Signe of the Mariners Compass at the Hermitage stayrs in Wapping." Note that the title mentions the west coast for what is really the south coast. There is one compass rose showing north to the top, and one ship, but no scale of latitude or longitude. The scale in the lower right corner reads "A Scale of English Leagues 20 in one degree [10 = 132 mm.]." 545 x 215 mm.
