Antique world map titled 'Mappe Monde Historique'. The map depicts both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, with the hemispheres meeting in the middle of the Pacific Ocean near the Solomon Islands. Features commentary on world affairs - including forms of government. This map originates from 'Atlas historique de Lesage' by Emmanuel-Augustin-Dieudonné-Joseph, comte de Las Cases (June 21, 1766 - May 15, 1842), a French historian and atlas maker. He published the atlas under the pseudonym A. Lesage.
