Nubie
Abissine et Cote D'Ajan" by Sir Robert de Vaugondy, "Geographer to the
King." Published 1749.
A
fine and very decorative mid-18th century map of the lands surrounding the
Gilles
Robert de Vaugondy (1688-1766) and his son Didier were descended from the N.
Sanson family and they inherited much of Sanson's cartographic material. They
were highly skilled engravers who placed an emphasis upon accurate and precise
visual descriptions over the more commonly encountered tendency towards
decoration and imaginary (unsubstantiated) geography.
In
VG+ antiquarian condition with beautiful modern full hand color. T hree small
wormholes have been expertly repaired on the reverse so that they are virtually
invisible; light bit of dampstaining confined mostly to the margin will be of
little consequence once matted and framed. On a c. 7" H x 9 1/4" W
sheet (image size is c. 6 3/4" x 7 7/8").
A scarce 18th century map of this region.
