Description: It is an original antique copper engraved map on paper with embossed plate marks in the margins and a centerfold as issued. It is in its original uncolored states as first published, no modern color added. It is by M. [Monsieur] Rigobert Bonne, from his Atlas de toutes les parties connues du globe terrestre, published around 1780, a facsimile copy of the title page is included, which is undated. Bonne worked under Jacques Nicolas Bellin and succeeded him as the Royal Hydrographer of the King of France in 1773. Bonne's maps reflect his royal profession in the study of oceans and coastal mapping in the great age of ships. The maps are considered some of the most accurate of the period. The map is not mounted nor matted, being sold as a single sheet as seen in the first pic. A very nice, well preserved original antique map!

Condition: The map is in Very Good condition for its age, blank on the reverse with a centerfold as issued. There are a couple of short edge tears with archival repairs on reverse, otherwise it is very clean and would frame up well, see the pics for more on condition. The pics are of the actual map.
