Description
Decorative engraving of a pair of globes, one celestial, one terrestrial, engraved for Jacques Chiquet's Le Nouveau et Curieux Atlas Geographique et Historique.
The Globes are surrounded by scientific models showing various perspectives on the orientation of a globe.
Copperplate, with fine hand colouring, good condition.
Jacques Chiquet (1673-1721) a French cartographer only published two works. His most famous was a small atlas, called Le Nouveau et Curieux Atlas Geographique et Historique published in 1719. This atlas was likely made for the entertainment of royalty. Also in 1719, he published an atlas of France called Noveau Atlas Francais. His works are quite rare as he died shortly after they were published.
