Description
b>The second, much enlarged, edition of the important French Sea Atlas of the Red Sea, India, the East Indies, Indochina and Formosa.

Large folio, contemp. gilted motted calf, spine richly gilt in compartments with red morocco label, restored spine. Engraved allegorical title by J.B. Tilliard after Francois Boucher, title, dedication with large engraved vignette (2pp.), Table des articles (1p.), Extrait des register de l’academie Royale de Marine du 9 Mars 1773 with Privilege du Roi (3pp), Préface (10pp.), Instructions sur la navigation de France aux Indes, 194pp. Tables des Variations with Avis au Relieur (3pp.) followed by 63 charts, numbered from 1 to 59.
As usual, the charts not numbered as per contents list; No. 10 in index as "Carte à placer" and no chart has been added, Chart 19 misbound and chart 46 is not present but according to contents list "Carte de l'isle de Java" actually present as chart 44.
The Neptune Oriental was a changeable publication and the Shirley and Phillips catalogues reveals no systematic standardisation of the copies they collated. Shirley records several variations of the 1775 edition, each with differing totals.

Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Denis d' Après de Mannevillette (1707-1780) was a famous French sailor and hydrographer.
He studied under the famous Guillaume Delisle, the King's geographer, and was one of the first navigators to make use of Hadley's revolutionary octant in taking measurements at sea during his voyage to China in 1728 and succeeded in correcting the latitudes of many place.. During his many voyages d'Apres de Mannevillette created a number of charts for a hydrographic atlas which, with the support of the Academie des Sciences, was published in Paris in 1745 under the title "Le Neptune Oriental" with 25 maps. The atlas contained charts of the route to China: the Red Sea, the coasts of India, Malaya, the northern parts of Indonesia, Indochina and China.
'The new sea atlas quickly found its way into the pilot cabins of ships of several nations, and its 22 charts were immediately recognised as being superior to all previous maps of Southeast Asian coasts' (Suárez p.238).

For the next thirty years, with the help of his friend and eminent British hydrographer Alexander Dalrymple, d'Apres de Mannevillette revised his charts for this the second and enlarged edition, published in 1775. This comprehensive atlas was used on all French ships for navigating the Indian Ocean. It replaced the "English Pilot" published by John Thornton in 1700 and the charts of the van Keulens, the hydrographers of the Dutch East India Company.

This 1775 eventually required a supplement, published posthumously in 1781 and reissued in 1797.

This edition containing the important one page chart of Hong Kong, "Carte d'une partie des Côtes de la Chine et des Isles adjacentes depuis l'Isle nommée la Pierre Blanche, jusqu'à celle de l'Artimon." A most important milestone chart based upon the surveys made from navigational surveys and soundings in 1754, 1759, and 1760 by Alexander Dalrymple.
The chart extends from just West of Macao which is shown as is the Bocca. Tigris narrows on the Pearl River to the North. Prominently shown are the islands around present-day Hong Kong with Lantao and Lamma both identified. Hong Kong island is shown and identified as Fanchinchow with its island nature only tentatively shown. The promontories of Stanley Peak and D'Agular Peaks both tentatively shown in dotted outline. A simply engraved but important chart.

The second edition contains an updated, now double page chart of the tip of Malaysia with Singapore " Nouvelle carte des mers comprises entre le détroit de Banca et P°. Timon avec la partie orientale du détroit de Malacca.". One of the earliest detailed maps of Singapore area, labelled "Vieux Detroit de Sincapura" and "Detroit de Sincapura Neuf".

The chart of Manilla Bay "Plan de la baye et Ville de Manille, Capitale des Isles de Philippines...", was also updated for the second edition. The chart extends from the North coast of Mindoro Island to north of Pointe de Capones, centred on Manilla Bay and Subec Bay.

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.
