It was only in 1999 that this CURIOUS RARE SERIES OF MAPS came to light. One of the maps appeared on the market and Eugene Burden located its source in the National Library of Scotland. It came from a French edition of the collected works of Sir Walter Scott. The 85-volume work was issued from 1826-34 by Charles Gosselin, A Sutelet & Co. and J. Tesseir. The maps are identified as being the work of Aristide Michel Perrot with whom we are familiar with by the maps he produced to accompany Georg Bernard Depping’s ‘L’Angleterre ou description historique et topographique’ published in 1824. Perrot was a geographer who produced a number of works related to this field. The engraving is the work of Pierre Tardieu. Burden identified the maps as being issued throughout the volumes and lists them in his article. This is a collection of them bound into one contemporary binding. A very rare work, only three examples could be traced. Provenance: with two bookplates pasted on one another inside front cover; public auction.
