About the Item

First Edition, published by Pantheon Books, New York, 1998.

  • 1751 Map of Spain Castilla Robert De Vaugondy 1st Edition, Ric.a001

Very early, he associates with his works his son Didier who publishes, since 1742, the methodical tables of Nicolas Sanson, two Globes, one terrestrial, the other celestial (1752). He is credited with a map of Poland...
