Atlas
In-plano (54 x 34 cm), engraved title-page and 39 engraved plates, 22 pp (text). Allegorical title by J. van Monnikhuyse after L. Webbers, Louis Renard's "Planisphere" representing the Titan Atlas with a north polar azimuthal projection on his shoulders, a star map, a world map and 34 maps, many reissues of De L'Isle, Ottens and others, as well as a geopolitical table of Europe and a table of distances between European towns. All maps announced are present. Contemporary hand coloured. Mediocre copy: margins of the title-pages slightly shorter, well-thumbed, some tears without loss repaired in text part, dog-ears, an old hand has written in brown ink the titles of the maps on the verso. Sewn, bookblock loose, worn calf binding, hinges broken, scratches, title on spine reads 'Atlas du Monde'.
