Description: It is an authentic copper engraved antique map approximately 200 years old, blank on reverse, with original handcoloring and a centerfold as issued. It is by d'Anville, Geographe order du Rei (Geographer of the King), as stated in the title block on the map. It was published in the Atlas de Geographie Ancienne pour servir a l'intellegence des Oeuvres de Rollin (Paris, 1818), a copy of the title page is included. Charles Rollin is best know for reviving the study of Greek at the University of Paris and wrote two massive works on Ancient History, 12 vols. & Roman History, 5 vols., for which Jean Baptiste d'Anville (1697-1782) designed the maps. D'Anville's maps are remarkable for being the most accurate of the era. He refused to merely copy older maps, but went to great lengths to research and verify the locations of ancient sites. Overall, it is a very well preserved rare map with nice strong color and an antique appearance that would frame up very well. Size: The image area measures approximately 10 by 14 inches (25x35cm) on a 13 1/2 by 20" (35x51cm), with a wide margin all around, as seen in the main pic. Condition: It is in Excellent condition with original hand coloring and a centerfold as issued. It is printed on a off white page with embossed plate marks in the margin.
