"Amerique Meridionale" This work provides a detailed geographical overview of the South American continent during the late 18th century, illustrating colonial territories including Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru, as well as the interior regions of the Amazon.

He was known for moving away from the decorative flourishes of the previous century in favor of scientific accuracy and clear, functional detail. His maps were highly regarded for their precision in coastal delineations and river systems.
