Hello all:
I have an untitled manuscript atlas in front me which was produced on
behalf of the Admiralty on board a ship sailing in the West Indies in
1717-1718 by a captain Bartholomew Candler.
I have correspondence in our bibliographical files which detail another
"copy" with slight variances (author attribution and an index).
I have searched the library catalogues of the Caird, the British
Library, and the National Archives to no avail.
Much of the correspondence I have comes from P.K. Kemp from the Naval
Historical Branch of the Ministry of Defence and has a British Museum
Map Room stamp at the foot of the correspondence.
I am seeking conformation of the existence of this duplicate copy and
elements lacking in ours. I am also seeking a shelfmark number so that I
may add it to our catalogue record.
I am hoping that someone in ExLibris can out me in touch with a name and
an email who can help me to track this down.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Allison
