Carte de la LITHUANIE RUSSIENNE.., 1784

1784 [dated 1776] Paolo Santini (original cartographer) – Homann Heirs (original publishers) – Giuseppe Antonio Remondini (cartographer/current publisher): “Carte de la LITHUANIE RUSSIENNE…” Venice, 22 x 17.5 inches, in two versions showing lands lost by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the First, 1772, Partition. The map was published in Remondini’s “Atlas Universel dresse sur des Meillieures Cartes Modernes,” which featured re-engraved plates from those of Robert de Vaugondy’s “Atlas Universel.” This map differs from the 1776 Homann Heirs version only in the last line of the cartouche, where you find an awkwardly engraved “Chez M. Remondini.”
