Description
Decorative and rare map of Malta and Gozo, prepared by Sébastien de Pontault de Beaulieu (1612-1674). The islands are shown in a bird's eye perspective from the coast of Tripoli up north towards the southern part of Sicily. A martial-themed cartouche encases a plan of the harbor and fortifications of Valletta.
Three large vignettes depicting sea battles, and the table contains a key of 33 important places. With the signature of "Sr. de Beaulieu Ingenieur et Geogr. Ordre. du Roy".
This edition is scarce, and the map is more commonly known in the Danet, re-issue or F. de Wit derived.
Sold separately and also included in "Les glorieuses Conquêtes de Louis-le-Grand: ou Recueil, de Plans et Vues des places assiegeés, et de celles ou se sont douneés des batailles…" .
This rare work describes the military operations conducted by Louis XIV between 1643 and 1692. Published for the first time in 1694, "Le Grand Beaulieu" in celebration of the conquests of Louis XIV and was intended for the Royal Collection. The composition of this book varies because the buyer often requested an additional number of prints.
