Description
Map drawn by Jacques Nicolas Bellin, published as a plate of the French edition of 1757 of "Histoire General des Voyages, ou nouvelle collection de toutes les relations de voyages par mer et par terre s" by Antoine François Prévost, better known under the name of abbé Prévost.
The collection, in several volumes, is printed for the first time A Paris: chez Didot, 1746-1753.
The complete work - in 12th - will continue the publications until it reaches, in 1789, a consistency of 80 volumes.
A colossal encyclopedic research work carried out by the author, which also deserves credit for having published numerous unpublished stories about the discovery of Australia by the Dutch and reports of journeys across the Pacific, including those of Magellan and Schouten.
The work is accompanied by nearly 300 illustrations of populations, views, and costumes from around the world and by 113 splendid maps, by Jaques-Nicolas Bellin.
Copperplate in good conditions.
