Beskrivning

"Mappe-Monde ou Carte Générale du Globe Terrestre". This double-hemisphere world map presents the geographical knowledge of the early nineteenth century. The engraving displays the Eastern and Western hemispheres, detailing the continents, major mountain ranges, and river systems. The tracks of significant maritime explorations are traced across the oceans, particularly in the Pacific and Southern regions. Original hand-colouring highlights the continental borders and regional divisions. Published in Paris by Felix Delamarche in 1828, the map includes the latest oceanographic divisions and geographical discoveries of the era. It was produced for inclusion in a general atlas intended for scientific and educational use.

Felix Delamarche was a French geographer and cartographer active during the first half of the nineteenth century. He was the son and successor of Charles-François Delamarche, one of the most influential French map publishers of the late eighteenth century. Felix continued the family tradition of producing high-quality globes, maps, and atlases that were widely used for both academic and general reference. His work is characterized by a commitment to updating geographical data while maintaining the elegant engraving style established by his father. The Delamarche firm remained a dominant force in the Parisian cartographic market for several decades, contributing significantly to the dissemination of geographical knowledge in post-Napoleonic Europe.
