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

OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:557434253.Giovanni Antonio Bartolomeo Rizzi Zannoni was one of the leading cartographers of the late 18th century as well as being an astronomer surveyor and mathematician.

Rizzi Zannoni was the first to execute the triangulation of Poland assisting in the French and English border survey of American in 1757 and serving as the hydrographer of the Dépot de Marine. He was also a member of the Cosmographic Society of Göttingen a town in Saxony Germany home to the University of Göttingen. Rizzi Zannoni is known for his world atlas the French edition of which was published in 1762 as Atlas Moderne by Lattré in Bordeaux. In 1781 he was invited by the Bourbon rulers of the Kingdom of Naples to direct the Topographical Office among the first governmental cartographic agencies in Europe. There he produced celebrated land and maritime atlases of the region as well as many separately issued maps. His Atlante Marittimo delle due Sicile 1793 is cited by map historian R.V. Tooley as “remarkable for a marvelously minute attention to detail and amply deserves the commendation passed upon it by Sir George Fordham†Tooley 21. Paris: mis au jour et eÌxeÌcuteÌ par le S.
