About This Item
Double page engraved map (29" x 21"), hand colored in outline, decorative cartouche. Some chips and tears in margins, but margins are wide, a little creasing around the centerfold, minor aging; otherwise about very good, bright and with a strong impression. Janvier was a French geographer that was active in the second half of the 18th century. According to Norwich and Tooley, Janvier produced a series of maps in 1760, and collaborated in an Atlas Moderne in 1762 and 1771.The present map is number 28 from that atlas. This rather handsome engraved map, which has full color, appears to present the cartographic knowledge of Africa in the mid 18th century. The present map was originally published in 1762, in a slightly smaller version. However, this edition appears to have has greater detail, and this is especially true in the interior and southern portion of the continent. There is a decorative cartouche in the upper left corner that features a lion coming out of the jungle. Norwich 104. Tooley p. 59.
