1781 Bonne Map - Carte de L'Empire de la Chine, de la Tartarie Chinoise et du Royaume de Coree
Rigobert Bonne was the fortunate successor to J.N. Bellin as the official hydrographer/chartmaker to the French navy and, like his predecessor, used the position for furtherance of his private atlas publications. Both Raynal's 'Atlas de toutes les parties connues du Monde' of 1780-81 and the 'Atlas Encyclopaedique' of 1787-88 owe much to the massive map resources of the French naval ministry. This map is from Raynal's 'Atlas de toutes les parties connues du Monde'.
This map of the Chinese Empire aso includes that part of Tartary in the Gobi Desert under Chinese influence as well as Manchuria. The kingdom of Korea with its capital Kingkiao is also present. The Japanese islands of Kyushu and Honshu appear on the eastern edge of the map. The map has several scales of distance.
The map measures 9" by 13" with a centrefold (as issued), has wash hand colouring, and is in very good condition.
The map is guaranteed to be over 230 years old.
