by Bonne, Rigobert.
Engraved map, probable later coloring, straight boarder, plain cartouche, 21 x 32 cm. (12.7" x 8.4"). Nice crisp impression, coloring is good, but uncertain about when it was done, very nice condition overall. Rigobert Boone (1727-1795) succeeded Bellin as the Royal Cartographer of France. He produced highly respected maps during his day, and was know for his accurate detail. This map is number 103 in Norwich's Maps of Africa, and while it is not all that detailed, it is still an attractive map. Norwich 103. legends.mapsofworld.com (Inventory #: 101197)
