Brué had an interesting though short life. At the age of fiftenn, he stowed away on a vessel bound for Australia, and was discovered only after the ship was at sea. He was given the rank ‘Novice First Class’, and spent the voyage working with the navigator surveying the new territories through which they sailed. On his return to Paris he began creating nautical charts based on the surveys they had made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work of Brué is characterized by the high degree of accuracy with which it is done, and the meticulous attention to detail employed in the crafting of his charts and maps. This map is an excellent example of his work. While elegant and decorative, it is nonetheless highly accurate for its day, an element in which Brué took especial care. He always strove to include the results of the latest exploratory expeditions, and often re-crafted maps more often than many of his contemporaries in order to do so. The map features all known land masses of the third decade of the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. All major cities and ports are denoted and named, and special attention is given to major river systems and mountain chains. The map is a pleasing blend of up to date scientific information and elegant artistry.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e This map is in A condition.
