Map. Uncolored copper plate engraving. Image measures 12.5" x 8.5".
Map of Peru and some of Ecuador, including Lake Titicaca, Lima, Cuzco and Quito. Minor scattered foxing. 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 mapmaking away from decoration toward technical mapping. Binding: Unbound
