About the Item
Antique map titled 'Mappemonde en Deux Hemispheres ou l'on a Indique les Nouvelles Decouvertes' - This handsome double hemisphere map presents a view of the physical world with particularly nice detail of the islands throughout the world.

Pierre François Tardieu
Pierre François Tardieu was a very well-known map engraver, geographer and illustrator. Tardieu was born on December 24, 1711, in Paris. He was awarded a bronze medal by King Louis-Phillipe for the accuracy and beauty of his map-making. Tardieu produced many fine works, including maps of Louisiana, Mexico, Russia and Asia in addition to his illustrations of French provinces. Additionally, the mapmaker was the first to engrave steel rather than copper. Overall, he was widely celebrated for his skilled combination of research, detail and technical talent. Tardieu died on January 15, 1771, in Paris.
