Hydrographe de la Marine" This work provides a comprehensive geographical study of the Italian peninsula and its surrounding islands, including Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, as well as the coastal regions of North Africa and the Balkans.

Rigobert Bonne was a significant French cartographer of the Enlightenment who served as the Royal Cartographer to the French Hydrographic Office of the Navy. He was known for moving away from the decorative flourishes of the previous century in favor of scientific accuracy and clear, functional detail. His maps were highly regarded for their precision in coastal delineations and river systems. His extensive body of work became a standard for naval navigation and geographical study during the late 18th century.
