Description
Beautifully engraved and hand-colored map of the western hemisphere focused on North America and South America. The combination of the curved map projection and the fine coloring work act synergistically to emphasize the curvature of the earth's surface. The map projection allows the inclusion of Africa and Europe at right, and New Zealand and the Pacific Islands at left. The date of "An VI" dates the map to the sixth year of the French Revolution or 1798 in the Gregorian calendar. Interesting bit of land shown north of the Arctic Circle outside the neatline. Political subdivisons shown in red. Published from Paris by French cartographers E. Mentelle and Pierre-Giles Chanlaire. Number 155.
