Schley, Jakob van der & Bellin, Jacques Nicolas - Maps from the Dutch edition of Prévost's "Histoire générale des voyages"
Jakob van der Schley (1715-1779) was a Dutch draughtsman and engraver. He re-engraved most of the plates in the Hague edition of Antoine François (known as "l'Abbe") Prévost's "Histoire générale des voyages", after those of the French edition by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772) (q.v). The Dutch edition was published in the Hague by Pierre du Hondt. Our catalogue includes a complete set of the maps from both the Dutch and the French editions.
