Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 4to (30 cm), 251 pp. Publisher's cloth with dust jacket (minor shelf wear). Limited to 750 copies, this is no. 496. The 18th century was a pivotal period in the history of French cartography. Through original research, Dr. Mary Pedley explores how Gilles Robert and Didier Robert de Vaugondy contributed to and thrived during this geographically rich era. Initially, it was a fortunate bequest and the fame of the Sanson name that propelled the success of the map business flourishing in mid-18th-century Paris. However, the Vaugondys earned their own respect with the Bel et Utile: the twin ideals of their work, emphasizing both utility and beauty. This study includes the first comprehensive catalog of the Vaugondy family's productions, including maps, atlases, and globes. While analyzing the scope and success of their geographical work, Dr. Pedley ensures the book is more than a dry reference volume, enriching it with personal details and the financial fortunes and misfortunes of the family.
