Suite de la Carte de la Sibérie et le Pays de Kamtschatka Pour l'HIstoire Générale des Voyages.
"Continuation of the Map of Siberia and the Country of Kamtschatka For the General History of Travel."
Map of Siberia, Russia by French hydrographer and geographer Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772), who produced a prodigious body of work over a nearly fifty-year career. Longitude from the Paris Meridian.
Appointed hydrographer of the French Navy at the age of eighteen, Bellin eventually became Hydrographer to the King in 1741. He published numerous sea atlases and charts which would be reprinted into the nineteenth century, as well as many maps depicting French colonial territories in the New World. His craftsmanship and commitment to accuracy earned him a distinguished reputation as one of the world's leading cartographers, and many other European mapmakers turned to him for source material.
