1775
Maker: Janvier
Antique map of the Empire of Germany, from a composite atlas circa 1775. A composite atlas is an atlas made up of a selection of previously issued maps. This atlas appears to have been partly by Louis Charles Desnos and an atlas title page dated 1769 by Desnos was present. The full title translates to "THE GERMAN EMPIRE DIVIDED BY CIRCLES Subdivided into their States and Sovereignties Subject to Astronomical Observations by St. Janvier, Geographer. IN PARIS at Lattre, Engraver, rue St. Jacques, at the corner of that street (to the City of Bordeaux), of the Parcheminerie with Privilege of the King. 1761." This map has original hand-coloring and shows cities, towns, villages, rivers, topographic detail, etc. Includes all of Germany from the Baltic Sea to the Gulf of Venice and from Paris France to Warsaw Poland, with Austria, Czechia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and more. Good antique condition with some minor foxing, some small tears at paper loss at the paper edges. The photograph makes the center fold appear deeper than it is- we can take a new photo on request. Measures approx. 18.75 x 25.75 inches to the neatline.
