Nouvelle Carte de la Suisse
This is a fine large scale map of Switzerland based on a map first issued in 1777. Faden believed it to be the best map of the period and thus gained permission to include it in his New General Atlas under his imprint.
Aesthetically, it is particularly pleasing, combining the decorative elements of two strong cartouches depicting mountain scenes together with remarkably accurate renditions of the mountainous element of the country through exquisite engraving. This is further embellished by the marking of various trails and passes through the mountains.
All of these elements, together with the size of the map make this one of the most pleasing of all late 18th renditions of Switzerland. [SWAS1400]
