About This Item
carce catalogue and price list of the Delamache map publishing firm.
An early 19th-century price catalogue of the Delamache map publishing firm, producer of globes, armillary spheres atlases and maps. Besides many others, the catalogue lists a large 18-inch terrestrial globe showing the discoveries of Cook, Lapérouse, Vancouver, and Mackenzie, an interesting tellurion called Géocyclique, and a Copernican heliocentric Armillary Sphere including the movement of Uranus which was discovered recently by William Herschel.
Charles-François Delamarche (1740-1817) was one of the most important French geographers and mapmakers of his time, the successor to Nicolas Sanson, Robert de Vaugondy, Rigobert Bonne, and Jean Lattré whose atlases he reprinted. Delamarche cooperated with Jean Nicolas Fortin, the maker of scientific instruments.
We couldn't find any copies of the present 1806 catalogue of Delamarche in institutional holdings.
