Description
THE RARE FIRST EDITION of this important French Sea Atlas of the Red Sea, India, the East Indies, Indochina and Formosa.
2° (640 x 490 mm).
47994X.jpgTitle printed in red and black with woodcut vignette, engraved head-piece on first text leaf,
With 25 large engraved charts of which 13 are double-page and 18 full-page.

“A vast, superb volume” (Lust). A very important atlas compiled for the French East India Company. “The French Admiralty considering that the Neptune Oriental was too dangerous for ... navigation, ordered the remaining copies to be destroyed” (Manonmani Filliozat, Indian Journal of History of Science, 292, 1994, p. 341).

D' Après de Mannevillette (1707-1780) was a famous French sailor and hydrograph. He was born in Le Havre to a sea-faring family. “He first sailed to India in 1719 in the Solide, captained by his father.
He later studied geometry and astronomy under Joseph Nicholas Delisle, the mathematician and geographer, and at the age of nineteen sailed to the Caribean.
During a voyage to China in 1728 he succeeded in correcting the latitudes of many places using new instruments. Back in France, he devised a plan to correct and publish all the existing maps of the route to China: the Red Sea, the coasts of India, Malaya, the northern parts of Indonesia, Indochina and China.
During many subsequent voyages Apres assembled a collection of material for [this]… hydrographic atlas…” (Howgego A-107); Lust 162. Polak 127n. Phillips Atlases 3163 and 3168.

Condition and Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
