First edition of this rare, large c.18th two sheet map of India’s Coromandel coast by one of the most important and influential French cartographers of the C18th, Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville. The Coromandel Coast is the southeastern coastal region of India, bounded by the Utkal Plains in the north, the Bay of Bengal, the Kaveri delta to the south, and the Eastern Ghats to the west. The map extends from present day Narsapur in the state of Andhra Pradesh to Nagapattinam in the south
From D’Anville, [Atlas General]
Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville (1697 - 1782)
D'Anville was a French cartographer of great repute. Following the death of De Lisle, D'Anville continued the line of progressive French cartographers which had begun with Nicolas Sanson in the previous century. A child prodigy, he is said to have designed his first map at the age of fifteen and in his long distinguished career he produced a large number of elegantly engraved maps, noted for their scholarship and accuracy. Having exacting standards soon brought him international recognition as the finest cartographer of his time.
