L'ISLE, G. de. / BUACHE / DEZAUCHE. - Atlas géographique des quatre parties du monde.

Interesting atlas printed during the French Revolution (1789–1799) by Ph. Dezauche. Most maps are prepared by Philippe Buache, who was one of the most active proponents of the so-called school of theoretical cartography active in mid-18th century France.
Interestingly the "Mappemonde" has the original dedication to the King removed as the map was created during the French Revolution. The Europe map is dated 1788 but the coats of arms in the title cartouche are covered with black ink.
The map is followed by a newly engraved map "Carte de France, suivant sa nouvelle division en LXXXVIV départements. . . 1794." The title cartouche shows a cock holding a swort and [bonnet rouge] or liberty cap [bonnet de la liberte].
