1753 Bellin Map - Plan d'une Partie de la Grande Muraille
J.N. Bellin was one of the most successful cartographers of all time. As the the French Navy's hydrographer and chartmaker he had access to the finest information available to any mapmaker and used this to publish a large variety of atlases including 'Petit Atlas Maritime' as well as his contribution to L'Abbe Prevost's 'Histoire Generale des Voyages'. This map of parts of the Great Wall comes from the latter work, a 1753 edition.
The page has two plans: Long-Me-Hien and ...Grande Muraille. The plans illustrate city walls and fortifications, but concentrate on the location of the Great Wall itself.
The map measures 6.5" by 8.5" with several folds (as issued), has outline hand colouring, and is in good condition with a narrow left blank margin.
The engraving is guaranteed to be over 260 years old.
