Beschreibung

Handsomely bound in vellum with the title and author stamped in ink at the top of the spine.The paper is high-quality with only occasional light foxing. There are 716 pages with the word "FIN' on the last page of the Geographique Indice. The 25 folding maps and plates are in good condition, despite tears at the corners and small pieces missing at the inner folds. All are complete in their geographic information. There are rough edges resulting from careless folds that have become heavily creased. Several of the maps measure 12" x 9.5" and are printed on crisp, heavy quality rag paper. Maps: 20 maps. 1) p. 66. World Map (Mappe Monde); 2) p. 74. Europe; 3) p. 76. Portugal ; 4) p. 82. Spain; 5) p. 102. France; 6) p. 108 Another map of France; 7) p. 132. The British Isles; 8) p. 158. Ireland; 9) p. 222. Italy; 10) p. 270. Germany (Allemagne); 11) p. 434. Scandinavia; 12) p. 442. Russia (Moscovie); 13) p. 452. Baltic Area; 14) p. 466. White Russia, etc.; 15) p. 470. More Russia (Moscovie); 16) p. 476. Hungary (Hongrie & de la Turquie); 17) p. 506. Asia; 18) p. 546. Africa; 19) p. 560. North America; 20) p. 564. South America. Plates: 5 plates. Plates 1 and 2: p. 576. Celestial Globe & Globe Celeste (2 folding plates: one larger than the other). Plate 3 p. 578. La Sphere Artificielle. Plate 4. p. 582. Terrestrial Globe Terestrel. Plate 5. p. 610. "Quadran de mer." After consulting the World Catalogue, I was able to locate only one other copy of this 1735 Hubner "Geographie" (University Library in Munich) that had some of the geographical maps, but that copy was missing nearly half of the cartes géographiques. This copy has all 25 folding maps and plates. Source: The OPAC SBN "Catalogo del servizio bibliotecario Nazionale" (Italian catalogue) lists for volume 1 [10] plates and for volume 2 [15] plates.
