(MEDITERRANEAN SEA.) Henri Michelot and Laurent Bremond; after. Nouvelle Carte Generalle de la Mer Mediterranee Dediéè in Monseigneur Le Chevalier d'Orleans. Large engraved chart of the western Mediterranean Sea on "JW[hatman]" watermarked wove paper, 23¼x28½ inches sheet size, wide margins; unobtrusive repairs and faint stains.-Marseille: Joseph Roux [but elsewhere, circa 1830s?]
An unusual restrike of the left portion of Michelot and Bremond's 1727 multi-sheet wall map; here their credit has been erased and replaced with that of Francois Berthelot and the publisher's imprint altered to Joseph Roux: both of whom were working in the eighteenth century, but the plate apparently survived with the present example struck in the first half of the nineteenth.
