In 1757, Gilles and Didier Robert De Vaugondy published 'The Atlas Universel', one of the most important atlases of the 18th century. To produce the atlas, the Vaugondys integrated older sources with more modern surveyed maps. They verified and corrected the latitude and longitude of many regional maps in the atlas with astronomical observations. The older material was revised with the addition of many new place names. In 1760, Didier Robert de Vaugondy was appointed geographer to Louis XV. This achievement was proudly stated on this particular map by the engraved words 'Par le Sr.Robert Geog. ordin. du Roy' following the title.
Delivery: Due to its large size this glazed map will have to be delivered by my trusted delivery man. He can deliver this to most places on mainland England and Wales for £50.
