Double Page Folio Map. Outline Hand Color.
This map comes from the Atlas Universel de Géographie Ancienne et
Moderne...
by Colonel Pierre Lapie (1779-1850) and his son Alexandre Emile Lapie
(1809-1850)
who worked on maps with his father, and was a Captain in the same Guards
Division as his father.
From around 1820 Pierre Lapie was First Geographer to the King of
France, Chief of the Topographic Section of the War Office, military
cartographer, and publisher. In 1829, with Alexandre Emile, Pierre
issued Atlas Universel... , which was
reissued in 1837, 1841, and later.
The map was engraved by Pierre Tardieu, a foremost French 19th century engraver.
