Born in Raucourt France on October 6th 1727, Rigobert Bonne was regarded as one of the most important and influential Cartographers of the 18th century. A mathematician turned Royal Cartographer and Hydrographer for the Depôt de la Marine, Bonne replaced Jacques Nicolas Bellin in 1773 and while a lot of their works shared similarities in the layout of the terrain, his maps were far more detailed and accurate than that of his predecessor. His work was popular for the minimalist, yet still elegant approach to his maps compared to the time, often using less color and forgoing the elaborate compass roses and decorative cartouches that could be seen in other cartographers’ work.
All items listed are from V&J Duncan in Savannah, GA. The shop began in 1983 with one tabletop of antique maps and has grown into a vast collection of old engravings, mezzotints, lithographs, photographs, old books, and antique prints. We have prints of architectural interest, birds, animals, botanicals, fashion, sporting scenes and tens of thousands of portraits. Our inventory also includes views and maps of Savannah and other cities, all U.S. states and most countries of the world. Visit us in Savannah, Georgia, or shop inventory here online.
All prints are rolled and shipped in a poster tube. Smaller prints will be shipped in a rigid media mail folder.
