This copperplate engraved map, measuring 7 x 9 1/2 inches, is a significant artifact from the Age of Enlightenment, created by R. Bonne and Raynal. It is part of the influential work "Histoire Philosophique et Politique des Etablissemens," which featured contributions from Enlightenment thinker Diderot. The publication tackled various pressing issues of the time, including religion, commerce, slavery, and contemporary political and social matters. Due to the controversial nature of its content, particularly its stance on slavery, the publication was banned in France. Consequently, it found its way to publication in Geneva, Switzerland. This map, focusing on the subject of anti-slavery, is a testament to the intellectual discourse of the Enlightenment era, reflecting the period's critical examination of moral, ethical, and societal issues. The map is offered in overall very good condition, with authenticity guaranteed, serving as a valuable historical artifact encapsulating the Enlightenment's spirit of inquiry and advocacy for social change.
