About the Item

Title: "1788 Map of Europe - France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Great Britain & Ireland by D'Anville" Description: This detailed map of Europe, titled "First Part of the Map of Europe, Containing France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Great Britain & Ireland," was published in 1788. The map was based on the original work by renowned French cartographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville and was produced under the patronage of the Duke of Orleans. The map was drawn and engraved for J. Harrison, London, as stated in the lower margin, with the publishing date marked as December 1st, 1788. This map reflects the high level of cartographic skill during the late 18th century, showcasing intricate details of the various regions, including boundaries, cities, and geographical features. D'Anville was known for his meticulous research and was one of the most respected geographers of his time, often recognized for his contributions to geographical accuracy. This particular map shows the political divisions of Europe during a tumultuous period just prior to the French Revolution. The map has an attractive decorative cartouche, typical of maps from this era, which adds an artistic element to the presentation. It remains an important historical document, providing a glimpse into how Europe was perceived and divided just before significant political changes shaped the continent. Condition: The map is in very good condition for its age, with general age-related toning and some light scattered foxing typical of maps from the late 18th century. The hand coloring is well-preserved and enhances the details of the various regions. There is a faint horizontal crease near the center, but it does not detract significantly from the visual appeal of the piece. The margins are wide, and there are no tears or significant stains, making this a well-preserved example of an 18th-century cartographic work.
