DESCRIPTION: "Mappe-Monde Divise en Deux Hemispheres" is a detailed double hemisphere world map renowned for its topographical features and comprehensive labeling of regions and place names. This map is a significant artifact from Tardieu's "Atlas pour Servir à l'Intelligence de l'Histoire Générale des Voyages de Laharpe," which served as a geographical companion to Jérôme de La Harpe's extensive chronicles of global explorations. The atlas, meticulously crafted to aid readers in visualizing the varied landscapes and routes described in La Harpe's narratives, provides a vivid depiction of the world as understood in the early 19th century. This map not only illustrates geographical knowledge of the period but also reflects the era's intense interest in global exploration and understanding.
