Description
1835 EXQUISITE French ATLAS Cartography MAPS Navigation Voyages Illustrated Monin
Charles V. Monin was a 19th-century French cartographer who was one of the first Europeans to print maps under the printing process of lithographic engraving. His prints became extremely popular and were in high demand because of their beauty and attention to detail. He used steel plates in his print runs rather than the more economical copper. His two most important publications are ‘Petit National Atlas’ and ‘Universal Atlas of Geography.’
This fine two-volume lot features both Monin titles, each filled with impressive maps and illustrations. While Monin made his claim to fame through map-making, these portfolios include illustrations of navigation instruments such as the armillary sphere, landscapes, castles, and of course, dozens of incredible double-page maps.
