BUACHE, Philippe. Planisphere Physique...�
Paris 1756. 350 x 440.
Original colour; minor marginal defects otherwise fine.
An early example of physical geography by Philippe Buache. Based in Paris, he was a mapmaker and publisher and also an active proponent of the 'school of theoretical cartography' during the mid-18th century in France. This dealt with the physical properties of the globe and the mapping of the north Pacific regions. This map illustrates the world's mountain ranges on land and their theoretical continuation under the seas.
