Asiae que vulgo Minor dictur et Syrtiae Tabula Geogrhapica…

Engraved double page map, 25" x 20 1/2", map dated, hand colored in outline. Wide margins, chip out of upper margin, slight foxing and aging; otherwise very good or better. d' Anville (1697-1782) was a highly respected French cartographer that many believed raised the standard of map making. He even became geographer to the king in 1775. His maps were typically very detailed and accurate, and the French government upon his death acquired much of his cartographic material. This is a map of Asia Minor, which covers the territory from Greece to Armenia, and as far south as Lebanon. Van De Gohm p. 104. britannica online website.
