    . La page de titre indique qu'il s'agit de la quatrième édition. Cet ouvrage a été publié à l'origine par Nolet & Zoon. Cette édition est publiée par Koster, mais semble être substantiellement la même. Quatre lithographies teintées (frontispice et trois planches avec deux images chacune) par van P.

Dos en bougran et planches imprimées bleues. Sans titre. Un peu entaillé et bosselé sur les bords.

There is a little foxing to the map, and it has been cut at a strange angle, and a little close to the text at the base of the map (not affecting text). It doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the map. Jean-Baptiste Louis Clouet (1729-1790) was a French geographer of the Royal Academy of Sciences, born in Rouen. His general atlas was first issued 1767. Phillips records 2 other editions from 1787 (Phillips No. 661) and 1791 (Phillips No. 673). Une belle carte coloriée à la main, tirée de "Géographie moderne avec une introduction" de Clouet, son œuvre la plus importante. La carte est centrée sur le désert du Sahara. La carte montre l'Espagne, l'Italie, la moitié de la France et « la Turquie en Europe ». Texte recto-verso (en français). Pliez au milieu de la carte, où lié dans sa géographie. Il n'y a pas de mention d'édition sur cette carte, mais elle correspond exactement aux 1787 pages de la Stanford University Collection. Verso vierge. La carte mesure 121/2" x 141/2" Le bloc gravé mesure 121/2" x 22" La feuille mesure 15" x 221/2" La carte est en bon état. Il y a une petite rousseur sur la carte, et elle a été coupée à un angle étrange, et un peu près du texte à la base de la carte (n'affectant pas le texte). Cela ne gâche pas le plaisir de la carte. Jean-Baptiste Louis Clouet (1729-1790) était un géographe français de l'Académie royale des sciences, né à Rouen. Son atlas général a été publié pour la première fois en 1767. Phillips enregistre 2 autres éditions de 1787 (Phillips No. 661) et 1791 (Phillips No. 673).
