Northern part of a 2 sheet map of the Holy Land, based upon the writings of Flavius Josephus, etc., which appeared in Lattre's Atlas Moderne.
Includes a fine large format cartouche and classical depiction of the Holy Land, including ancient cities, roads, lakes, rivers, mountains and other features from the classical history of the region.
Jean Lattré (fl. 1743-1793) was a Parisian bookseller and engraver who published many maps, plans, globes, and atlases. He worked closely with other important French cartographers, including Janvier, Bonne, and Delamarche, as well as other European mapmakers, such as William Faden, Santini, and Zannoni. Lattré is also interesting due to his propensity to bring suits against those who copied his work; plagiarism was common practice in eighteenth-century cartography and mapmakers struggled to maintain proprietary maps and information.
