Sous le Privilege de l'Academie. Chez l'Auteur, aux Galeries du Louvre. (Grave par G. De-la-Haye) List No: 2603.032 Page No: [25:1] Series No: 34 Engraver or Printer: Delahaye, Guillaume, 1725-1802 ; Gravelot, Hubert Francois, 1699-1773 ; Delafosse, Jean Baptiste, 1721-1775 Published In: (Atlas general) Publication Author: Anville, Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d, 1697-1782 Publication Date: 1771 Publication Reference: cf P571, 572, 599; NMM 200. Publication Note: Maps dated 1743-71. Most of D'Anville's atlases were made up for the individual customer, so it appears that no two are alike. Many of the maps are multisheet maps that have here been joined, so the actual map sheet count is about 45. This set is accompanied by a printed list of "Cartes Geographiques de M. D'Anville" with the maps numbered 1-38 in ms, corresponding to the maps in the atlas. This sheet also lists "Ouvrages par ecrit, et qui ont ete imprimes." One of the listed books is dated 1777. D'Anville's maps have a clarity and directness that is very "modern." He read widely, and incorporated the best available geographic knowledge into his work. The English and others copied from his maps extensively. Many of the maps were missing when we acquired this atlas, and have been added subsequently. Maps stored, some bound, in a binding with half leather and cloth ties. "Atlas" printed on the spine.
