‘John Senex was an engraver and map seller, later cultivating his scientific interests as a maker of instruments and globes. In the early part of his career from about 1706 to 1711, he was in association with the London publisher Charles Price and together they produced sets of large (double-folio) sized maps … The partnership … split up in 1710.’ (Shirley). These large double sheet maps are usually in poor condition, particularly at the double folds, this example is in a nice state of preservation. The River Danube runs through the map from Belgrade in the south to Budapest and Vienna in the north west. Shirley BL T.Sen-1a no. 11.
