'At the sign of Atlas'

Joseph Moxon established himself in London as a printer, publisher, type-founder and maker of scientific instruments and globes, including pocket globes and the Castlemaine globe. In his later years, he wrote and published two famous books, The Mechanick Exercises, Volumes I and II. They gave accurate accounts of various crafts, thus beaking the traditions of secrecy in the Craft Guilds.
