Description
Louis Joseph Mondhare (1734-99) was a native of Bougy (Normandy), but he worked in Paris from 1759 until his death as an engraver, publisher, map and print seller. He maintained offices in Paris and Cadiz. From June 1784 onwards he worked in association with his son-in-law Pierre Jean, a print seller. He published a school atlas Atlas Général a l'usage des colleges et maisons d'éducation, several smaller atlases and the wall maps of Clouet.
Content
- Title-page from Hubert Jaillot Atlas Nouveau, contenant toutes les parties du Monde, ou sont exactement remarqués les empires, monarchies, royaumes, estats, republiques, dated 1692.
- Engraved contents page "Table des cartes etc : du Sr. Sanson. Contenues dans Ce Vollume". The centre part has remained empty. Beautifully old colored.
- Mappe-Monde Geo-Hydrographique, ou Description Generale du Globe Terrestre et Aquatique en Deux Plans-Hemispheres ; ... Par le sieur Sanson, Geographe ordinaire du roy. 1785. Revue Corrigée et Augmentée des Nouvelles Decouvertes et des Voyages des Plus Celebres Navigateurs dans la Mer du Sud et au Nord de l'Asie. 1785. A Paris chez Mondhare rue St. Jean de Beauvais.
Unknown world map in double-hemisphere projection after Jaillot, including the routes of Magellan, Mendaña, Tasman, Le Maire, Halley, Furneaux, Bougainville, and, of course, Cook. One of the most recent discoveries recorded on the map are the Sandwich Islands, or Hawaii. It was known by 1785 that Cook had perished there, making the islands of considerable interest to Europeans.
The map is featured by the M. de l’Ouest “Sea of the West”
Ornated around the edge with 4 astronomical diagrams representing the solar systems theories of Ptolemy, Tycho Brahe, Copernicus and a composite system.
- L’Europe divisée… chez Mondhare, 1785. Tracks of Cook, Clark and Gore
- L’Asie divisée… , 1785. Tracks of Cook, Clark, Gore and route of the Spanish fleet from Manilla to Acapulco.
- L’Afrique divisée… et présentement chez Mondhare rue St. Jean de Beauvais, 1785. Tracks of Furneaux, Cook and Clark.
- Amérique Septentrionale divisée…, 1785.
“The most notable difference is the addition of the date 1785 to the title and the presence of a MER OU BAYE DE L’OUEST. Jaillot’s imprint is removed from the scale cartouche lower left leaving the privilege. Further additions to the cartography of the north west can be found. The Route de Cook et Clarke en 1778 is added to the Pacific. Boston is finally added to the map however; the cartography of the south east remains Francophile. Despite this leaning there is still no reference to New Orleans founded in 1718. AMERIQUE SEPTENTRIONALE is written across the middle and FLORIDE is replaced by LOUISIANE. Several more minor alterations are also made.”
Burden, Corrigenda and Addenda : Jaillot, State 6.
- Amérique méridionale…, 1785. With routes of Magellan, Mendana, Fernand Quiros, Le Maire, Comodore Biron, Saint Antoine, Bougainville, Furneaux, Cook, St. Louis, Mr Halley.

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.
