Pub Note: 1st edition, with five postal maps added, as
issued. With the list of subscribers and the extra postal maps
of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The French postal
map is dated 1758. All five were added after the printed list of
maps was printed, but are mentioned by Vaugondy in the preface,
so they may have been an afterthought. An owner has added their
titles to the printed list of maps, in ms. Engraved title page,
Advertisement, and Geographical essay giving the sources of the
maps. This atlas was reissued until 1799 (Phillips), with later
issues having a map of the United States. In original half
leather patterned paper covered boards with spine reading "Nouvel
Atlas De Mrs. Robert." One of the first atlases based on
scientific surveys, in the tradition of D'Anville and De L'Isle.
Outline color.
