Description
1770 Bonne Map of Israel showing the Twelve Tribes
A fine engravedantique maptitled'_Carte des Douze Tribes
D'ISRAEL,taken from 'Atlas Moderne ou collection de Cartes sur
toutes les parties du Glove Terrestre by Jean Lattre'.
This is a beautiful example of Rigobert Bonne's map of Israel
(Palestine / Holy Land) divided according to the Biblical Twelve Tribes
of Israel. Bonne's map covers Palestine or Israel on both sides of the
Jordan River from Sidon to Gaza and Zoara and includes parts of adjacent
Egypt, Arabia, and Syria (including Damascus). The map is divided
according to the Twelve Tribes of Israel, but also includes the
Satrapies of the Philistines, what is today the Gaza Strip. The biblical
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as the 'Caverns of Lot' and other
Biblical sites are identified. The right hand quadrants feature the
map's legend as well as a textual analysis of the map in French. An
elaborate decorative title cartouche appears in the upper left quadrant
features a high priest holding a candelabrum and a Putto playing the
harp.
Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most
important cartographers of the late 18th century. In 1773 he succeeded
Jacques Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the
HYDROGRAPHER AT THE DEPOT DE LA MARINE. Bonne would later become the Geographer to the King of France.
Jean
Lattre (fl. 1743 - 1793) was a Paris based bookseller, engraver, and map
publisher active in the mid to late 18th century. Lattre published a
large corpus of maps, globes, and atlases in conjunction with a number
of other important French cartographic figures, including Janvier,
Zannoni, Bonne and Delamarche. He is also known to have worked with
other European cartographers such as William Faden of London and the
Italian cartographer Santini.
