Kitchin, Laurie & Whittle - Map of Europe (Large Folio)

Kitchin, Laurie & Whittle - Map of Europe (Large Folio)
This exceptional map is from Thomas Kitchin's A General Atlas describing the whole Universe, being a Complete Collection of the Most Approved Maps Extant, corrected with the greatest care and augmented from the last edition of d'Anville and Robert... The work was published by Robert Holmes Laurie and James Whittle in London in 1795. Each engraving is on a large fold out sheet, though some are on larger folding sheets or even intended to be joined to make spectacular wall maps, truly impressive in scale.

This atlas is one of the most important atlases of the world ever published. The maps were published using information from cartographers including: Thomas Kitchin, Thomas Jefferys, John Rocque, Robert Campbell, John Armstrong, John Roberts, L. S. d'Arcy Delarochette, James Rennell, Andrew Dury, Thomas Pownall and Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville. The work also incorporated the information gathered as a result of the important Pacific voyages of Captain James Cook, George Vancouver, and Jean Francois Galaup de La Perouse.
