The maps were issued as early as 1674 and were later jointly issued by Sanson and Mortier in Amsterdam.Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (ca. 1632-1712) was one of the most important French cartographers of the seventeenth century. Jaillot traveled to Paris with his brother, Simon, in 1657, hoping to take advantage of Louis XIVs call to the artists and scientists of France to settle and work in Paris.Originally a sculptor, he married the daughter of Nicholas Berey, Jeanne Berey, in 1664, and went into partnership with Nicholas Sansons sons. Beginning in 1669, he re-engraved and often enlarged many of Sansons maps, filling in the gap left by the destruction of the Blaeus printing establishment in 1672.Condition is generally very fine with full original hand colour, including the cartouche, which was often left uncoloured in original colour examples.
