About This Item
Paris, 1812. Fine detailed nineteenth century map of China by Dano-French geographer Conrad Malte-Brun. One page. In near fine condition. Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 18 inches by 14.75 inches. Dano-French geographer and journalist Conrad Malte-Brun, sometimes referred to simply as Malte-Brun, is perhaps best remembered for coining the name for the geographic region Oceania (French Oceanie) around 1812, as well as the name Indo-China. He was the founder of Les Annales des Voyages (in 1807) and Les Annales des Voyages, de la Geographie et de l'Histoire (in 1819), which encouraged observations and reports as a basis for research. He became well known after contributing Tableau de la Pologne, a treatise on the geography of Poland (in 1807, as the First Empire troops established French tutelage in the region). In 1822-1824, he served as the first general secretary of the newly founded Societe de Geographie.
