COLLINS (GREENVILLE)
Footnotes
BOUND IN A FINE FRENCH ROCOCO BINDING, WITH A DISTINGUISHED PROVENANCE. This French edition of Collins' highly regarded coastal charts was published by the hydrographer to the French king, Jacques Nicolas Bellin, presumably with the intention of assisting with France's planned invasion of Great Britain during the Seven Years War.
Provenance: Neuville family, of Normandy, with arms on the sides. Possibly those of Philippe de Neuville (d.1781), Minster of the Marine, or Jean Nicolas Buache de Neuville (1741-1825), who in 1782 replaced d'Anville as Premier Géographe du Roi, and then in 1794 was appointed by Napoleon as Chef du Dépôt de la Marine; Anatole Delorme, inscription; Pierre Berès, book label inside upper cover.
