| Set of maps of the World & 6 Continents Victor Levasseur.
Paris, c.1845. A fine set, each map with bright body colour on the maps, within a highly decorative engraved border, with vignettes of views, costumes and animals. Published in one of the last decorative atlases, the 'Atlas Universel IllustrĂ©', which, unlike earlier sets, has grouped the East Indies, Australasia and the Pacific on one plate, 'OcĂ©anie'. On the map of the Americas Texas is a republic: the population table gives it a population of only 200,000. LEVA0014 | £1250.00
