About This Item
Paris, 1746. Copper engraving, 22 x 30 cm, modern hand colour, blank verso. Jacques Nicolas Bellin the elder (1703-1772) was first chief hydrographic engineer of the "Dépôt des cartes, plans et journaux du Ministère de la Marine," charged by Louis XIV with mapping the coasts of France first and then the rest of the world. He was also a member of the Royal Society of London. Bellin compiled the maps for Prévost's Histoire Générale des Voyages, and he later reworked them for his Petit Atlas Francaise and his Petit Atlas Maritime. Our example is numbered correctly for appearance in volume II of Prévost. C.f. Walter, Japan, 83. Map
