About This Item
Paris, 1780. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 9" x 12 3/4"<br/> <br/> This map of the East Indies, published in Bonne's 1780 atlas, extends from the Malay Peninsula to the northern coast of Australia, the map shows the islands of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, Timor, Mindanao, Maluku, and many islets. Pictorial mountains depict the mountainous terrain of the volcanic islands. An inset in the lower left corner depicts the Maluku islands in greater detail. The map is in excellent condition. Center fold as issued. <br> <Br> Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century. He served as Hydrographer to France, and during his term, he produced a number of detailed and useful maps, particularly of coastal regions. His work is often devoid of decorative cartouches and compasses roses and marks a turn in European map-making away from decoration toward technical mapping.<br/> <br/>
