About This Item
1776. Sea chart. Engraving. Trapezoid projection, image 11 x 16 3/4 inches (lower widens to 17 1/4"), sheet measures 16 1/2 x 22 inches.<br/> <br/> Fine map of the Gulf with many toponyms along the coast such as Deh Rogn (Qatar) and Zaka (UAE). Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville (1697-1782) was a French geographer and cartographer whose accurate, research-based work raised the standards for 18th-century map-making. Passionate about maps from his childhood, he created maps during his school years and would go on to publish several atlases during his prolific career. In his early 20's he became the Geographer to the King of France. His accuracy and in depth research would make him one of the most important cartographers of the 18th century.<br/> <br/>
