An early nineteenth century map of France, in full hand colour, from Ostell's 'New General Atlas.' The country is divided into its provinces, with each picked out in full wash colour. The title is enclosed in a simple oval cartouche. John Charles Russell (1773-1848) was a British map engraver and print maker, the son of John Russell (c.1750-1829), who was also an engraver and cartographer. Despite publishing his own atlas, 'Russell's General Atlas of Modern Geography, he is best known for contributing map plates to the works of other cartographers, including Guthrie, Barlow, Guy, and Phillips. Condition: Crease to top left corner of sheet, not affecting map. Chips and time toning to edges of sheet. Blank on verso. |
