Description
A striking 18th Century map of the north west coast of Africa, and southern parts of Europe. The map is divided into kingdoms and shows nice detail, enhanced with a decorative title cartouche.
Jean Lattré, was a Paris-based engraver and publisher, who worked with Robert de Vaugondy, J. Janvier and R. Bonne. From the 'Atlas Monderne', with editions in 1771, 1783, 1793.
Rigobert Bonne (6 October 1727 – 2 September 1794) was a French cartographer, widely considered to be one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century.
In 1773 Bonne succeeded Jacques Nicolas Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity, Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonne's work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic similarities to those of his predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common 18th century decorative features such as hand coloring, elaborate decorative cartouches, and compass roses.
While mostly focusing on coastal regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal
