David (and Ed), the same did Bourguignon D'Anville with his famous Carte de l'Italie published in Paris in 1743, in two sheets. In a very famous volume titled Analyse Géographique de l'Italie (Paris 1744), discussing how he was able to improve the shape and the coordinates of Italie, without leaving for a while his armchair, he published a map of Italy with three different contour: one for l'Italie by Sanson (1641), the second for l'Italie by De L'isle (1700) and the third for his NEW map of Italy. The map, engraved by Bourgoin, is titled: "Parallele Du contour de l'Italie Selon les cartes de M.M. Del'Isle et Sanson, et celle qui résulte de l'Analyse Géographique de ce continent par le S. d'Anville." From the legend we learn that: Le trait ombré est celui du S. d'Anville Le trait sans ombre est d'après M. Del'Isle Le trait fit de points d'après M.
