Atlas de Géographie Moderne by E. Cortambert, illustrated edition in a French hardback from 1885, containing 66 maps and 66 pages in very good condition.
Description from the seller
Charming illustrated edition of this cartographic and descriptive synthesis of the world as it appeared at the end of the 19th century, from both a scientific, educational, and imperial perspective.
Inheriting the French geographical tradition, Cortambert gathers a series of detailed maps — political, physical, economic — accompanied by explanatory notices on the states, peoples, climates, productions, and communication networks.
This volume thus embodies a geography of modernity, both descriptive and normative, where the global space is ordered, measured, and taught.
