Old World Map — Mappemonde de Leipzig, Jomard's Monuments
An old world map: the Leipzig mappemonde, from Jomard's atlas
A plate of Edme-François Jomard's Monuments de la géographie ou Recueil d'anciennes cartes européennes et orientales — his collection of old European and oriental maps, reproduced as plates. The library catalogs this one as [Mappemonde de Leipzig], in square brackets: the name is supplied by the catalog.
The record gives 1800 as the date of publication. We repeat it as given and add no dating of our own, neither for the plate nor for the map it reproduces. The record does not state the technique, the coloring, the scale or the size of the sheet.
