Description:
Charles Williams was a native of Caerleon, and had a successful career in Smyrna when he fled Wales after killing his cousin in a duel. He returned to London as a financier in the 1690s and befriended John Hanbury. When he died in 1720 he left his estate to Hanbury, who entailed it for his son Charles, who then took the name Hanbury-Williams. For further information, see The Hanburys of Monmouthshire by Richard Hanbury Tenison (1995), chapter 4. and A volume of letters bound in gold-tooled and stamped green vellum, with a printed CH-W number label (and evidence of a Phillipps label, now missing) on the spine. The Hanbury-Williams volume number is 46; the Phillipps number is 10893.
All volumes bound to match 1973 Folio 72. Factitious collection of about 549 maps taken from the atlases of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th cent., put together with the title "Atlas" and bound in 6 volumes. These volumes originally bore the imprint: Amstelaedamii apvd Reiniervm & Josvam Ottens. Over these words on the title-pages of v. 1-2, 4-6 is the name of Henrik de Leth who painted them. Volume 3 has only the erased imprint of Ottens., For fuller description see Phillips 3448 and C.
