British roads, Tibet and the far reaches of Siberia all fall within these antique maps by Gilles and Didier Robert de Vaugondy, the French father-and-son cartographers of the eighteenth century. They mapped the British Isles and their principal roads, the Tyrol, Tuscany and Corsica, and the states of the crown of Aragon, with the political names and regional groupings of French atlas publishing. In Asia their maps cover India, Indochina, Tibet and the East Indies, and divided sheets span the western and eastern lands of the Russian Empire, some in later issues.
