1781 Bonne Map - Carte de LÌsle de St. Domingue
Rigobert Bonne was the fortunate successor to J.N. Bellin as the official hydrographer/chartmaker to the French navy and, like his predecessor, used the position for furtherance of his private atlas publications. Both Raynal's 'Atlas de toutes les parties connues du Monde' of 1780-81 and the 'Atlas Encyclopaedique' of 1787-88 owe much to the massive map resources of the French naval ministry. This map is from Raynal's 'Atlas de toutes les parties connues du Monde'.
This map of the island of Santo Domingo covers the territory of modern day Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Here they are simply shown as `Partie Francoise` (Haiti) and `Partie Espagnole` (Dominican Republic). To the north lie the Turks & Caicos islands and to the west is the eastern tip of Cuba. The map has several scales of distance.
The map measures 9" by 13" with a centrefold (as issued), has wash hand colouring, and is in good condition.
The map is guaranteed to be over 230 years old.
