Description
English: Frontispiece to "Le Neptune françois". Engraved by Jan Van Vianen.

Nautical atlas "Le Neptune françois ou Atlas Nouveau des Cartes Marinesà l'usage des armées du roy de la Grande Bretagne" is one of the most elaborately decorated atlases ever published. Printed in Amsterdam by Pierre Mortier in 1693, this sea atlas reproduced the latest maps of the coast of western Europe by the French Académie Royale des Sciences.

Three parts in one volume, large folio (640 by 530mm). This monumental atlas is made up of three works: 'Le neptune François'; 'Cartes marines a l'usage des armées du Roy de la Grande Bretagne'; and 'Suite du neptune François'. The first two parts were first published by Mortier in 1693, the third was issued by him in 1700.
