Detailed map, uncolored copper engraving. Covers northeastern South America, showing Guyana (Guyane), parts of British Guyana, Dutch Surinam in the north, French Guyana (Guyane), and Cap de Nord in the south. Settlements and missions along both the Maroni River and the Tammouri are noted. Includes major cities, forts, names of American Indian tribes and villages. Relief shown pictorially. Prime meridians are Ferro and Paris.
Text is first edition; Atlas is 1820 revised edition. The atlas was first issued in 1780 with maps engraved by Andre, then reissued in 1783-4 (P5995) without Andre or Bonne on the maps, finally reissued in 1820 with the maps reengraved by Dien (Tooley Dictionary)(our copy of atlas). WH has copies of the 1780 and 1783-4 atlases. It is strange that map #2, the World map, in our copy is an earlier map than the first and second editions of the atlas. Sabin shows many reissues of the 1780 edition of the atlas, so there may be more editions and states than these three. The earlier editions of the atlas were accompanied by twenty three tables in the back. Our copy of the text is 12 mo. and was given as a student prize. Maps are Atlas bound in quarter leather with "Raynal. Atlas." in gold on spine.
