Much of the interior is captioned "Gobi ou Desert De Sable" (Gobi, or Sandy Desert) and several rivers are shown "lost" in the sands. There are numerous place names in the mountainous terrain surrounding the desert. A portrait bust of the Dalai Lama is featured in the cartouche which also depicts a monk and incense burners. Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville (1697-1782) was a French cartographer and compiled over 200 maps. This map is from his most important work, Nouvel Atlas de la Chine, published in The Hague 1737. D'Anville's atlas wa the principal cartographic authority on China during the 18th century. D'Anville used maps prepared by Jesuit missionaries and commissioned by Emporer-Kanyx, who in 1708-1716 ordered a surveying of the country. This map is the first accurate cartographic depiction of Tibet available in the western world. Seller Inventory # AM20150402285
