France - Corsica; Johann Justinus GEBAUER (1710 -1772)...

Rare map of Corsica taken from the Uebersetzung der Allgemeinen Welthistorie, which in England was prepared by a society of scholars, published in Halle by the heirs of the typography of Johann Justinus Gebauer in 1784. The map is based on the famous survey by Domenico Policardi, published in Genoa in 1769 with the title: Carta dell'isola di Corsica, dedicated to sua eccellenza il signor Giuseppe Rocco Boyer de Fonscolombe commendatore, e gran croce dell'ordine di San Michele di Baviera, governatore della citta d'Hieres in Provenza / Domenico Policardi capitano ingegnere. The cartouche that contains the title is identical; at the bottom, just as Policardi's map, it contains the “description of the number of inhabitants from the age of 17 to 60, as well as of the whole population.” Pieghe editoriali
