It is with great pleasure that Altea Gallery and Daniel Crouch Rare Books bring you this joint catalogue of the manuscript and printed archive of the world-renowned maritime chart publisher Imray, Laurie, Norie and Wilson Ltd.
The collection is a unique portrait of the Enlightenment world at the turn of the eighteenth century.

If journalism is, as they say, the first draft of history, then perhaps photography is the raw material of memory; in the sense not just of personal mementoes (though that’s often the way photographs start out), but also of shared recollection. And that sort of collective remembering is, in turn, the stuff of history’s sister, culture, and of identity.

Three thousand years of history, geography, religion, and politics in one thousand maps, plans, and books. There exists a deep-rooted affinity between the history of cartography and the history of the Holy Land. The region served as the subject of the very first survey recorded in writing (Joshua 18:4) and continued to play a prominent role in cartography throughout the following millennia. Please note that shipping is not included. Costs are: £25 to the UK, £35 to Europe, and £45 to the rest of the world.
