About the Item

Decorative title cartouche and inset representing the Eastern hemisphere symmetrically shown in upper right corner. Published in Amsterdam by Covens Mortier. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Guillaume de l'Isle' after an anonymous artist. The de L'Isle family was one of the most influential Geographers of the early 18th century in France.

Guillaume was born 1675 and became member of the "Academie Royale des Sciences" with the age of twenty-seven, and was honoured later with the title "Premier Geographe du Roi". His largest project, the "Atlas de Geographie", was published until 1774 in Paris and Amsterdam (Covens and Mortier). He died in 1726. Condition: Good, given age. Edges reinforced on verso with acid free tape. Light vertical crease next to middle fold. Original middle fold as issued. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling.
