About the Item
Map of Europe Highlighting Ancient and Modern Geographical Divisions (1794). Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the British Isles – Map by D’Anville (1794).
This detailed 18th-century map, created by the renowned French cartographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville, was published by Laurie
Whittle in London on May 12, 1794.
It showcases Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the British Isles, highlighting both ancient and modern geographical features. The map reflects D’Anville’s commitment to precision and historical accuracy, depicting rivers, mountain ranges, and ancient territorial divisions overlaid with modern boundaries. It was likely part of Laurie
Whittle's series aimed at blending historical geography with contemporary cartographic needs.
The map’s clear layout and use of hand-colored borders make it both visually appealing and academically valuable. The British Isles are delineated with significant ancient Roman landmarks, while continental Europe includes ancient provinces like Gallia and Hispania, alongside modern political regions. The Mediterranean islands, such as Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearics, are prominently marked.
There is a reference to St. Petersburg on the map. It is found in the credit line beneath the title:
"Of the Rl. Academy of Belles Lettres of the Academy of Sciences of Petersburg."
This indicates that Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville, the mapmaker, was affiliated with or recognized by the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. During the 18th century, St. Petersburg was a significant intellectual and cultural center, and it was common for prominent scholars and cartographers like d’Anville to be honored or associated with prestigious institutions across Europe, including those in Russia. This note highlights the cartographer's academic credentials and international reputation.
