Scalé, Bernard

Bernard Peter Scalé (1738-1826) was a Dublin surveyor and draughtsman, whose works included a fine series of hand-coloured county and province maps of Ireland published within "An Hibernian Atlas", engraved by Ellis and Palmer, and published by Robert Sayer in London. The first edition of this Irish atlas was published in 1776 and the second in 1788; we stock maps from both editions. A pupil of fellow Huguenot John Rocque, he came to Dublin in about 1754 to assist Rocque in surveying for his map of the city. By 1758 he had married Rocque's sister and was advertising on his own behalf. He appears to have returned to England by 1779; he died in Colchester, in 1826. Scalé's Irish output was substantial. In addition to his more common county maps he also produced many estate, town & district maps; he charted the coast from Balbriggan, Co. Dublin, to Wicklow Head in 1765 and produced a new edition of Rocque's map of Dublin in 1773.
