Atlas encyclopédique : contenant la géographie ancienne, et quelques cartes sur la géographie du moyen âge, la géographie moderne, et les cartes relatives à la géographie physique
A two-volume French atlas engraved by cartographer Rigobert Bonne with text by geologist Nicolas Desmarest, published in Paris in 1787 for scholars and students of ancient, medieval, modern and physical geography. The plates are fine copperplate outline maps: coastlines in hairline stipple, hachured mountain ranges, compass roses, soundings, engraved scale bars and inset harbour charts, useful as line texture and lettering models.
