About This Item
Leipzig, c. 1750. Copper engraving, 30 x 40.5 cm, modern hand colour, blank verso. With text in French and German, and with simplified cartouches for the text on the left hand side of the map, our example of Bellins map appears to have been prepared for Johann Joachim Schwabes collection of English and French voyages translated into German, Allgemeine Historie der Reisen zur Wasser und zu Lande. Other states have wholly German text, published under the title Das Kaiserthum China. Between 1747 and 1791 Schwabe published over 20 volumes of travels, mostly derived from Astleys Voyages and Prévost's Histoire Générale des Voyages, and many of the maps were based on Bellins maps, which illustrate Prévost.
