Description: Lake Erie Maps & Prints Ebay Store! An Original Antique Map: Not a Reproduction! See Our Ebay Store for other Antique Maps! Free US Shipping on Purchases of 5 or More Maps and Prints Description: It is an original antique copper engraved map on paper with embossed plate marks in the margins. It is in its original uncolored states as first published. It is by M. [Monsieur] Rigobert Bonne, from his Atlas de toutes les parties connues du globe terrestre, published around 1779, based on a handwritten inscription on the title page "Paris, 1779," a facsimile copy of the title page is included. The actual date was not published in the atlas, typical of the period. However, Bonne's name does appear in the title block area of the map as M. Bonne, Ingenieur Hydrographer de la Marine. Bonne worked under Jacques Nicolas Bellin and succeeded him as the Royal Hydrographer of the King of France in 1773. Bonne's maps reflect his royal profession in the study of oceans and coastal mapping in the great age of ships. The maps are considered some of the most accurate of the period. The map is not mounted nor matted, being sold as a single sheet as seen in the first pic. A very nice, well preserved original antique map! Size: The map image measures approximately 8 by 12 1/2 inches (20x32cm) on a 10 by 14 1/2" page (25x37cm) with a margin all around as seen in the pic. Condition: The map is in Very Good or better condition for its age, printed on a strong page, blank on the reverse with a centerfold as issued. It is basically as seen in the pics. There is some very minor insect damage in the left margin along the fold that we have reinforced on reverse with archival materials, otherwise it is very clean with no distracting defects to mention, see the pics for more on condition. It is a nice example that would frame up well. The pics are of the actual map.
