Item description from seller

CARTE DE LEMPIRE DE PERSE A fine antique map by M Bonneof the region centered on Iran and Iraq, including also Armenia, Georgia, and the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf. Size approx 51cm x 38.5cm including the margins. Condition is very fine with central fold as issued.Rigobert Bonne (1727-1794) was an influential French cartographer of the late-eighteenth century. Born in the Lorraine region of France, Bonne came to Paris to study and practice cartography. He was a skilled cartographer and hydrographer and succeeded Jacques Nicolas Bellin as Royal Hydrographer at the Depot de la Marine in 1773. He published many charts for the Depot, including some of those for theAtlas Maritimeof 1762. In addition to his work at the Depot, he is best known for his work on the maps of theAtlas Encyclopedique(1788) which he did with Nicholas Desmarest. He also made the maps for the Abbe Raynals famousAtlas de Toutes Les Parties Connues du Globe Terrestre(1780).More than his individual works, Bonne is also important for the history of cartography because of the larger trends exemplified by his work. In Bonnes maps, it is possible to see the decisive shift from the elaborate decorations of the seventeenth century and the less ornate, yet still prominent embellishments of the early to mid-eighteenth century. By contrast, Bonnes work was simple, unadorned, and practical. This aesthetic shift, and the detail and precision of his geography, make Bonne an important figure in mapping history.…
