Lot description
Engraving, 49,5 x 64,5 cm + margins, borders coloured (a few sm. spots).
Large and well-detailed map, stretching from Lapland in the north-west, to Nankin (China) in the south-east. With an interesting remark about a mountain chain in the north-east of Siberia in the direction of Alaska: "On ne sait pas ou se termine cette chaine de montagnes, et si elle ne va pas joindre quelque autre Continent".
