42554Paris : Desnos circa 1771. Thirty-two copperplate engraved maps each measuring 95 x 95 mm image and 115 x 115 mm sheet numbering in the upper right corner of each map; laid on linen overall measurements 470 x 940 mm; inscribed verso Presented by the Marquis St. Simon to A. Gordon with the initials M. G. another Gordon family member below and with another inscription crossed out; housed in a red morocco presentation case with gilt-tooled decoration and title ATLAS 125 x 125 mm lined with blue paper and silk. A rare configuration - possibly unique - of Desnos' Almanach géographique ou petit atlas élémentaire dissected and laid on linen in a fully contemporary presentation case. An inscription records that the cased atlas was presented - presumably to its second owner - by Claude Anne de Rouvroy Marquis de Saint-Simon-Montbléru 1743-1819 a highly significant figure in the American Revolutionary War. The Marquis de Saint-Simon sailed for the Caribbean in 1779 as a colonel in the Touraine regiment. In 1781 he arrived at Jamestown Virginia in command of 3500 French soldiers where he joined forces with a smaller American army under Lafayette. Between them Saint-Simon and Lafayette conducted the siege of Yorktown during which Saint-Simon's force succeeded in preventing Cornwallis and his troops from escaping northwards along the road to Williamsburg. Although he was badly wounded in the leg Saint-Simon refused to leave the lines until the British surrendered and insisted on mounting his horse in order to take part in the surrender ceremony. Saint-Simon was personally thanked by Washington for his contribution to the American cause in a letter written just before his return to the West Indies Library of Congress George Washington Papers Series 4 General Correspondence: George Washington to Saint-Simon October 24 1781. He was also made one of the original members of the Society of the Cincinnati the private patriotic organisation founded by Washington. In 2018 the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati in Washington D.C. announced its acquisition of a portrait of Saint-Simon painted between 1815 and 1818 by the Spanish artist Vicente Lopez. It is the only portrait in American institutional collections of this lesser-known yet important participant in the Revolutionary War. Louis-Charles Desnos was one of the most prolific and influential map and globemakers of his age at a time when Paris was the leading centre of map production in Europe. Desnos married the widow of Nicolas Hardy son of Jacques Hardy a globemaker active during the period 1738-1745. Desnos acquired Hardy's inventory and tools and expanded the company also acquiring the inventories of the Jaillot family and of Nicolas de Fer. Desnos would be appointed Royal Globemaker to King Christian VII of Denmark and continued publishing throughout the late eighteenth century. Desnos first published his miniature atlas in 1770; it would be reissued in two volumes later the same year and again in 1771 with the addition of plate numbers to the maps as in the present example. The maps are titled: Hemisphere Orientale; Hemisphere Occidentale; Europe; Asie; Afrique; Amerique Septentrionale; Amerique Meridionale; Royaume de France; La Suisse diviseÌe en ses xiii cantons et ses allies; L’Italie; DucheÌs de Savoye et Piemont; Le Royaume de Naple et de Sicile; Royaume de Sardaigne; Royaume de Corse; Espagne et Portugal; Royaume de Portugal; Les Isles Britanniques; Pays Bas septentrionaux; Pays Bas meridionaux; L’Empire d’Allemagne; Royaume de Boheme na. les 16 cercles portent le nom de leurs capitales; Royaume de Prusse; Le Royaume de Hongrie; Royaume de Pologne; Royaume de Danemarck; Suede et Norwege; Suede et Norwege septentrionales; Suede et Norwege meridionales; Russie d’Europe; Turquie d’Europe; Russie d’Asie partie occidentale; Russie d’Asie partie orientale. We can locate no other examples which have been laid on linen and specially housed in a morocco case. The present example originally owned by a significant figure in the Revolutionary War is possibly a uniquely prepared copy with a purpose-made sturdy leather case portable and eminently suited to being carried in the pocket of a military coat. hardcover

The work includes "analytical" maps which divide France in many ways showing not only the various geographical and political divisions of the country but also the military ecclesiastical juridical genealogical commercial and financial divisions and even hunting territories. The atlas also includes a small sea-atlas with 3 charts showing the French coasts as well as a French road atlas mapping out all the travelling routes of France. The maps were all made under the direction of Louis Charles Desnos 1725-1805 but they were drawn by various mapmakers. Several of the analytical maps and all sea charts were drawn by Rizzi Zannoni and all the road maps by Michel Royal geographer and engineer of the Paris Observatoire. This important geographical compendium drawn primarily from the cartographic collections of Desnos is structured around three series of maps: the Tableau analytique de la France Le petit Neptune and L'indicateur fidèle. All maps 52 in total were newly made and dated 1763-5. In the present composition published by Louis Brion de la Tour ca. 1745-1823 the atlas is in first edition and exactly as issued with all maps including the part-titles dated 1765. Most maps are set within broad ornamental borders and are attractively hand-coloured. After the maps three additional texts follow: the Prospectus du guide des voyageurs pour des routes royales & particulières de la France & autres a Catalogue alphabetique des routes royales et particulières and a Catalogue alphabetique du supplement des 1380 villes de France. Of particular interest is the added catalogue of the stock of Mr. Desnos who was a Paris publisher bookseller and engineer geographer of globes and spheres at Paris. All parts of the present atlas are offered for sale in the catalogue separately as well. With remnants of 2 bookplates mounted on the front pastedown an ownership annotation "Mailly" on the title page. The boards are somewhat scratched with some loss of material. Two maps are browned. Otherwise in very good condition.l Cf. Phillips 2990-2993 all three parts separate with the "Neptune" and "L'Indicateur" dated 1766; Quérard I 515. hardcover

1792005599Paris: Veuve Hérissant 1792. Half Calf. Very Good. Exceptionally richly hand-colored French atlas. Elephantine folio 56 by 44 cm. Following title page which contains table of contents as well six two paged hand-colored maps. The first map with its large allegorical cartouche is especially spectacular but all the maps are beautiful and noteworthy for the quality of their coloring. Scarce with copies held by BNF Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve Leiden and the National Library of Scotland according to OCLC and not clear whether all of these copies are hand-colored. Corner dampstains most pronounced on title then receding as progress. While unquestionably noticeable on the first map in our view it doesn't seriously detract from the beauty of the map. Other light scattered soiling which again we do not find disconcerting. Some scuffing of the binding. While half calf technically the calf coverage of the boards is minimal. Veuve Hérissant unknown
