Mappe-Monde Dressee Pour l'Etude de la Geographie, Relativement Aux Auteurs Les Plus Modernes

A map of the world from Desnos' Atlas General Methodique et Elementaire, Pour l´Edude de la Geographie et de l'Histoire Moderne that appears to be from 1790. The map shows the world according to European knowledge of the time. The map is hand colored and outlined to give a striking representation of the different continents of the world. While the date given for the map is 1790, this appears to be the 1786 state less the ornate border but with the inclusion of text. Desnos adapted the earlier works of Brion de la Tour to aid in making these maps.
