Dezauche Maps the "Four Parts of the World"
Nice example of Dezauche's school atlas map of the World, illusrating the four corners of the planet and the 4 great oceans.
An excellent up to date map, although without place names.
No sign of Antarctica. The Northwest Coast of America is still highly conjectural, but New Zealandand Australia show the results of Cook's first voyage.
Jean-Claude Dezauche (fl. 1780-1838) was a French map publisher. Initially, his work focused on engraving music, but he later turned primarily to cartography. His is best known for editing and reissuing the maps of Guilluame De L’Isle and Philippe Buache, two of the most skilled mapmakers of the eighteenth century. He acquired the plates of these two men’s work in 1780 from Buache’s heir, Jean-Nicolas Buache. Dezauche's business received a further boon when he received a privilege to sell the charts of the Dépôt de la Marine. His business was carried on by his son, Jean-Andre Dezauche.
