PARTIE DE LA RUSSIE, No, 9 & N0. 15, 1827

Brussels, 49 x 58 cm, from his “Atlas universel…,” 378 maps in 6 volumes, the first world atlas with all the maps produced on the same scale (1:1 641 836), and the first produced by lithography. Maps
were hand-painted in outline color. If all the maps were joined, they would form a 25.4-foot globe! Such a globe was actually made in Brussels by joining these maps, many of which were the largest-scale maps of the area depicted for the time.
