1798005808Paris: Dezauche et Tardieu 1798. First edition. NA. Very Good. Spectacular topographical map printed in the sixth year of the Revolutionary French Republic -- the Directoire. The oversized copper engraved map assembled from six separate folding parts all linen backed. The map features a very beautiful and large allegorical title cartouche in one corner and a highly decorative key Explication des Signes contained in a large pastoral illustration and set in a pyramid monument. The individual pieces are 49 by 75 cm and the map in its entirety measures about 147 by 148 cm we are not counting overlapped margins. Slipcase which we believe is the original measures 19 by 13 by 5.5 cm. Fairly scarce with just five institutional holdings showing on OCLC First Search and all these national libraries: the British Library the BNF the Bayerishces Staatsbibliothek the Sachsiches Landesbibliothek the Biblioteca Nacional de Espana. Labels with handwritten details on the linen side of the maps exposed when the maps are folded and on the box. Lightest of scattered soiling on the map. The slipcase likewise. <br /><br /> Dezauche et Tardieu books
