2° (430 x 370mm). Title printed in red and black, 2pp advertisement, 8pp text, 42 hand-coloured engraved maps of China, Tibet, Tartary and Korea, 12 double-page, two folding. (Light spotting to title). Contemporary half calf, spine with lettering piece (covers lightly rubbed, spine with small splits at head and foot).

Anville, Royal Geographer and Cartographer compiled this interesting atlas of China to accompany editions of du Halde's work on China. Unlike the earlier mapping of China by Blaeu, this work also includes quite 'detailed' maps of Tibet, Tartary and Korea, as well as the first publication of Bering's map of Nortern Siberia. This, the Hague edition appeared in the same year as the Paris edition. A later edition was published in 1785 in Amsterdam by B.Vlam. Nordenskiold I 5; Phillips Atlases 3189.
