[France - Manuscript Atlas]. BOONSAJER, F. J.. Atlas of the French Empire. Part 2. [No place, no date, late 18th–early 19th century]. In-8 (20 x 13.5 cm), (3) ff. (title page and table of contents), 51 hand-drawn maps numbered in the top margin from 52 to 102, ink and watercolor on laid paper. Fauve half-calf with small corners from the period, decorated faux-ribbed spine, title label, speckled covers, gilt roulettes, mounted on tabs (upper jaw split, head cap and cuts worn, map no. 92 detached). A curious little atlas devoted to the departments of France. Entirely handwritten, it consists of a title page, a table of maps spanning two leaves, and 51 hand-drawn maps on double pages, drawn in ink, watercolored, and labeled in Dutch. Latitude and longitude coordinates are also indicated in ink. Most of the maps bear their titles in a simple cartouche placed in a corner of the map.
