About this Item

Later full cloth with original paper label laid down. 31 maps, 21 of the modern world, much on Europe, 10 of the ancient world. The list of maps on the title page indicates that the work is divided into three groups of 10 maps each, but the first group actually has 11 maps, with two maps of France. One is by province, the other by department. An early atlas from Andriveau-Goujon, one of the leading cartographic firms in 19th century France, with a less refined style than their later maps. The simplified style is more reminiscent of utilitarian American maps than the decorative European styles of the 18th and 19th centuries, though the bright full color makes the maps quite attractive.
