Jacob Van Langeren / Thomas Jenner

Around 1590 a set of playing card maps was published by William Bowes and in 1635 this was copied by Jacob Van Langeren for the first pocket-sized road atlas, "A Direction for the English Traviller", 'by which he shall be inabled to Coast about all England and Wales. And also to know how farre any Market or noteable Towne in any Shire lyeth one from an other and whether the same be East, West, North or South from ye Shire Towne. As also the distance betweene London and any other Shire or great Towne with the situation thereof from London. By the help also of this worke one may know(in what Parish, Village or Mansion House soever he be in)what shires he is to pass through and which way he is to travell till he comes to his journies End.'
On each map the top left diagonal half contained a triangular table of distances between towns, similar to those first published in 1607 in John Pond's almanac - a form still recognisable in todays road atlases.
In 1643 this was re-issued by Thomas Jenner(fl.1618-73)
In 1644 Jenner issued 'The Kingdom of England & the Principality of Wales, Exactly Described.....usefull for all comanders for quarteringe of soldiers' This folding map was based on Saxton's wall map of England and Wales and became known as 'The Quartermaster's Map' and was much used during the civil war, particularly by the Parliamentarians with whom Jenner sympathised.
