1837 Aristide-Michel Perrot

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

A completely revised edition of Aristide-Michel Perrot’s pocket atlas of France (see 1833b) had all the plates newly engraved by Pierre Tardieu, but mostly of slightly smaller dimensions. An additional small folding one of Europe was added. However, whereas the original ones had forty eight landscape and thirty eight portrait, the new maps are all vertical format ones with compass pointers and having the titles uniformly at top right:
