About the Item

Antique map titled 'L'Asie.' Map of Asia. Offers considerable detail considering the size, showing the tradewinds in the Pacific and Indian Oceans as well as numerous Silk Route cities in Central Asia. Highly detailed, showing towns, rivers, some topographical features and political boundaries. Source unknown, to be determined. Artists and Engravers: Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century. In 1773 he succeeded Jacques Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonne's work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic similarities to those of his predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common 18th century decorative features such as hand coloring, elaborate decorative cartouches, and compass roses. While mostly focusing on coastal regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal. Condition: Good, given age. Some light vertical creases near middle fold. Original middle fold as issued. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study image carefully.
