About the Item
This is a historical map titled "L'Empire Du Mogol, Et La Presqu Isle De L'Inde En Deca Du Gange."
An original authentic map, created by Rigobert Bonne (1727-1794), an influential French cartographer, depicts the region of the Mughal Empire in India along with the Indian subcontinent south of the Ganges (Ganga) river, including Sri Lanka and the Maldives, with detailed topographical information.
Rigobert Bonne was known for his precise and detailed cartography which represented a shift in the style of map-making from the highly decorative to the more functional and informational. This transition was indicative of the Enlightenment's values, which emphasized utility over ornamentation.
Bonne's maps are recognized for their detail and the shift away from the ornamental style of the seventeenth century and the early to mid-eighteenth century. His simpler, more focused aesthetic was part of a broader trend towards more scientific and pragmatic approaches to cartography during that period.
The map itself would have been used for navigation and may have been included in Bonne's "Atlas Supplement" or other works such as the "Atlas Encyclopedique" (1788) which he collaborated on with Nicholas Desmarest, and later in the "Atlas de Toutes Les Parties Connues du Globe Terrestre" (1780) for the Abbe Raynal.
This map is not only a valuable piece of historical cartographic art but also serves as a document showing the geographical understanding of the Indian subcontinent during the late eighteenth century.
