(GLOBES.) Martinet, Francois Nicolas (engraver). Globe Celeste / Introduction a la Geographie. Together, two folio engravings on watermarked laid paper. 13 1/4x19 1/2 inches each sheet size, ample margins; original hand-coloring; light toning and marginal wear. Paris, circa 1760
Nicely engraved plates of a celestial globe and an armillary sphere commonly found in Claude Buy de Mornas' "Atlas Methodique" with elaborately engraved border designs. In these variant printings the images and scientific text are a bit easier on the eye, without the distracting decoration.
