DELISLE, G. - Carte de l'Asie dresse´e sur les observations de l'Academie Royale des Sciences . . .

Scarce state of the map of Asia with the imprint "à la Courone de Diamans" published by Delisle c. 1707 : "L’ Asie. Chez l’Auteur sur le Quai de l’Horloge a la Couro. ne de Diamans avec Privilege du Roy pour 20 ans, 1700".

Guillaume de l'Isle's (1675-1726) well deserved reputation as one of the foremost geographers of the 18th century meant that his maps were influential for many years after his death. De l'Isle eradicated as much as possible imaginary geography in his maps.
