About the Item

Antique map titled 'L'Ancien Monde Et Le Nouveau en Deux Hemispheres' - Double hemisphere map of the World, showing the contemporary geographical misconceptions of the late 18th Century. The Norhwest Coast of America no longer shows the Bay of the West, following Cook's explorations, but has not yet been reshaped by the explorations of Vancouver. The Norhwest and Northeast passages are still viable prospects. Nice treatment of the East and West Indies. Tasmania still attached to Australia, with only a tiny hint of Antactica conjecturally offersd (T. de Sandwich) and no sign of Cook's discovery of Hawaii. Source unknown, to be determined. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Rigobert Bonne' after an anonymous artist. Rigobert Bonne, (1727 - 1795), was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century. He succeeded Jacques Nicolas Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the French Depôt de la Marine. Engraved by Gaspard Andre. Condition: Good, given age. Some small tears in the middle near middle fold neatly repaired on verso, hardly visible. Edges with a few tiny tears. Small hole bottom margin just below image. Original folds as issued. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully. Date: circa 1780 Overall size: 44.7 x 26 cm. Image size: 40.6 x 21 cm.
