Summary
| Description |
English: Soon after, in 1835, the first map with the name “Melanesia” was produced, with the drafting faithfully following the DU model. Engraved by Thierry, it will appear as map no. 86 in all the atlases “by Malte-Brun” (but posthumously: “new edition revised and corrected by J. J. N. Huot” etc., the editions of 1837, 1843, etc.). The 1843 edition is reproduced here: Précis de la Géographie Universelle ou Description de toutes les parties du monde sur un plan nouveau… par Malte-Brun, nouvelle édition revue, corrigée et augmentée… par J.-J.-N. Huot [Summary of the Universal Geography or Description of all of the parts of the world according to a new plan… by Malte-Brun, new edition, revised, corrected and augmented… by J.-J.-N. Huot], Paris, Bureau des Publications Illustrées, 1843. |
