Publisher Henry Seile's map of Africa, first published in 1652 in Peter Heylyn's <i>Cosmography</i>, was a close copy of John Speed's map of Africa of 1626, the first map of Africa readily available in the English language (cat. No. 59). Seile's map, engraved by London engraver William Trevethen (active 1652-1686), appeared in editions of Heylyn's <i>Cosmography</i> from 1652, 1657, 1660/2, 1666 (when Chetwind's name replaced Seile's), 1670, 1674, and 1682. Author Heylyn (or Heylin) (1599/1600-1662) was a cosmographer and geographer who also served as Chaplain to King Charles I of England.
