Additional Details

One of 3 maps defining the Robert model. Though dated 1750, the map was not published in an atlas until 1757 when Gilles printed his Atlas Universel. He may have circulated the map earlier in order to enlist subscriber's for his atlas publication. This is the first state of the map. A second state followed in which the date was removed from the cartouche. Walter 86; Campbell 65.
