This fine large scale map of Tartary and Siberia was engraved by de la Fosse. Many of d'Anville's atlases are untitled collections of maps, an example including this map can be found in the British Library. D'Anville died in 1782 aged 84 having led an active life cartographically. He was a thorough editor of his maps, so much so that upon his death his collection of some 9000 maps was acquired by the state. Shirley BL T.Anv 2a no. 12
