Title

Maniere d´Aller a la chassé et des differents animaux de Laponie.

5 represenations of the hunting of the inhabitans in Norway and Lapland. From the ‘Atlas Historique’ by Henri Abraham Chatelain. The work was published by the author in Amsterdam between 1718 and 1720. The text was compiled by Gueudeville & Garillon. The maps were completed by Chatelain under the influence of Guillaume de l'Isle. The work was published in several editions, the second edition being the first to include additional maps not included in the first, including a world map, a map of America, Europe, Asia and Africa. The ‘Atlas Historique’ was a very ambitious and ground-breaking work, covering genealogy, cosmography, topography, heraldry and chronology. It was intended for the general public and the growing fascination with the recently conquered colonies and new discoveries. Chatelain's maps are an outstanding example of the golden age of French cartography.

ca. 1718
