Map by Rigobert Bonne featuring the coasts of the Reign of Ajan and Zanguebar (modern-day coasts of Yemen, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Comoros, Mozambique). Bonne was an influential french cartographer of the late 18th century, was a skilled cartographer and hydrographer and succeded Jacques Nicolas Bellin as Royal Hydrographer at the Depote la Marine in 1773. Bonne is also important for the history of cartography because of the larger trends exemplified by his work. In Bonnes maps, it is possible to see the decisive shift from the elaborate decorations of the seventeenth century and the less ornate, yet still prominent embellishments of the early to mid-eighteenth century. By contrast, Bonnes work was simple, unadorned, and practical. This aesthetic shift, and the detail and precision of his geography, make Bonne an important figure in mapping history.
