Rigobert
BONNE (1727-95); cartographer; succeeded Jacques-Nicolas Bellin as Hydrographer
at the Depôt de la Marine in 1773.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

His
works include Atlas de Toutes Les Parties Connues du Globe Terrestre,
Geneva, 1780.
Plate
number 17 was used twice (as indicated by the suffix bix on the map of
the British Isles) due to an error by the engraver; the final plate is numbered
correctly as 49.
The maps are copper-plate engraved and uncoloured.
