Description
Rare with the address "Chez l’Auteur sur le Quai de l’Horloge a la Cour. ne de Diamans, 1702. Se trouve à Amsterdam chez L. Renard Libraire près de la Bourse."
Detailed map of the southern part of the Low Countries that extends from Paris to Metz and north into Holland. Details include roads towns and villages.
Two decorative cartouches: one with figures, flags and a lion, and a cartouche with seven scales.
A revised edition, dated 1780.
Philippe Buache de la Neuville was born in Neuville-en-Pont (France) on 7th February 1700 and studied at the Académie des Sciences, where he won the first prize for architecture in 1721.
He subsequently joined the Ministry of the Navy, where his drafting skills enabled him to concentrate on cartography. In 1729 he became geographer to the king, then geographer in the Académie des Sciences, successor to his former teacher and father-in-law, Guillaume Delisle (1675-1726). He pioneered a new form of theoretical geography and, in 1755, was appointed Professor of Geography.
More than a copyist, Buache was an academic geographer who researched his material thoroughly, relying on the most up-to-date information from voyages of discovery. He was the first geographer to recognize the important concept of the watershed and it was this that led him to make a number of deductions, some correct, some not.
Buache was trained under the geographer Guillaume Delisle, whose daughter he married, and whom he succeeded in the Académie des sciences in 1730. Buache was nominated first geographer of the king in 1729. He established the division of the world by seas and river systems. He believed in a southern continent, an hypothesis which was confirmed by later discoveries. In 1754, he published an "Atlas physique."
His nephew, Jean Nicolas Bauche (born La Neuville-au-Pont, 15 February 1741 and died Paris, 21 November 1825), continued his business and was also a geographer of the king.
Guillaume de l'Isle, (1675-1726) owned a reputation as one of the foremost geographers of the 18th century meant that his maps were influential for many years after his death. De l'Isle eradicated as much as possible imaginary geography in his maps.

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.
