Lovely little map of Europe covering the continent and including Iceland. Political boundaries are shown along with detail of major cities. Hekla and the Alps are graphically depicted.

Rigobert Bonne was an important French cartographer of the late 18th century. In 1773 he succeeded Jacques Bellin as the royal cartographer in the Office of the Hydrographer at the Depot de la Marine. Working in his official capacity, Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period.
