Description
Map of West Indies prepared by Thunot Duvotenay for publication in Maison Basset's 1848 edition of Atlas Illustre Destine a l'enseignement de la Geographie elementaire.
Maison Basset (1819 - 1865) was a French publishing concern active through the mid to late 19th century. The firm can trace their roots to André Basset (or Bassett) (fl. 1768 - 1784), who starting publishing maps, prints, and books around 1768. Maison Basset, also Chez Basset, is the imprint under which the heirs of Paul-André Basset (1785 - 1819) published the works of such prominent French cartographers and engravers as Barbie du Bocage, A. Vuillemin, J. B. Charle, V. Levasseur, Tu. Duvotenay, H. Dufor, F. E. George, and others. Their library of publications is diverse and vast, but heavily focused on medical and scientific texts, including several important atlases.
Thunot Duvotenay (1796 - 1875) was a French geographer active in the mid 19th century. Thunot is known to have worked with several other important cartographers of his day including Barbie du Bocage, Vuillemin, Charle, Levassseur and Dufour. Duvotenay also published "Complement de L'Encyclopedie Moderne ou Dictionnaire Abrege des Sciences, des Lettres des Arts de l'Industrie, de l'Agriculture et du Commerce Atlas" (Paris, 1875-1879). and atlases of France, Switzerland & the United States.
Copper engraving with original outline colour, some foxing, otherwise good condition.

Charles Duvotenay (fl. 1830's) was a cartographer also active in Paris who published a fine set of maps of Switzerland and its cantons in "Atlas Géographique, Historique, Statistique et Itinéraire de la Suisse" (Paris 1837). We assume that Charles & Thunot were related, although we have been unable to verify this.
