Jacket illustration: a chart of the British Isles from John Seller's Atlas Maritimus, first published in c. 1678.
John Seller (c. 1630-1697) was the first Englishman, in England, to compete with the Dutch as a producer of
world marine atlases. Although as a nonconformist he was found guilty of conspiring to kill King Charles II, he
was reprieved, and became Royal Hydrographer in 1671. He ran a nautical chart business from a shop near the
Tower of London, and was also an instrument and globe maker. He published one of the first series of playing
cards featuring world maps.
