D'Anville's atlas volume can be regarded as the second western atlas of China, following on from that of Martinus Martini, and the first scientific mapping of China, deriving from a triangulated survey carried out by French Jesuits, at the behest of the Emperor Kang Hsi. It forms the most important cartographic record of China from the eighteenth century.
