This is from the Dutch edition of the work which was published in Amsterdam circa 1744 by Jean Covens and Cornelius Mortier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuillaume de l'Isle (1675-1726) was son of a cartographer and a pupil of Jean Dominique Cassini, who among other important contributions, aligned the study of astronomy to the study of geography. Under Cassini's direction, observations were made from locations all over the world that enabled longitudinal calculations to be made with much greater accuracy. De l'Isle carried on this exacting work with remarkable dedication and integrity, constantly revising and improving his maps. While precision was his primary goal, his maps are invariably elegant and attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765588754506,"sku":"delisle005","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/mortier005.jpg?v=1782928089"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/collections\/pic-33.jpg?v=1783476574","url":"https:\/\/trilliumrareprints.com\/collections\/northern-hemisphere.oembed","provider":"Trillium Rare Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
