(R) Ensemble de 6 cartes figurant le Paradis Terrestre. - Together 6 maps all describing the Paradise on earth. For centuries, Western thinkers had done their best to place the earthly paradise on maps of the world. They inserted paradise -- sometimes marked only with a legend, sometimes represented as a spring, the source of four rivers -- at the very top of the map, on the far eastern border of Asia. Across Europe, the illuminators of bibles, encyclopedias, and histories used these graphic means to show that space : Visscher's map : Very attractive map, showing the location of Paradise. Two vignettes depict the Temptation of Adam and Eve, and their Expulsion from the Garden of Eden./ Mercator- Hondius' miniature map of 1608. Showing the site of Paradise between the four rivers, near to Babylon. / Carte de Eden : published in Jacques d'Auzoles-Lapeyre, "La Sainte Géographie"./ Robert de Vaugondy's map : Paradis Terrestre, 1748. / Huet's map, engraved by P. Starck-man. / Buache's map : Carte Générale, published in 1783 (o/l col.).
