About this Item
This handsome map engraving is from Nicolas d'Abbeville Sanson's "Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde". The work was published in Paris in 1670 by Pierre Mariette. Each engraving features original outline color. --- The atlas was first published in 1658 and was considered the first French world atlas. It featured numerous maps including several world maps, continental maps, parts of the Americs, India, China, Japan, and numerous European countries and territories. --- Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) was oft considered the father of French cartography. He produced over 300 maps in his career, noted for their sharp style and research. He first introduced the atlas / map featured here in 1658, with his son, Guillame Sanson, continuing this publication post-humously. --- The work is in good to very good condition overall. Some of the engravings in the work are printed close to the edge so there may be some border or plate mark loss. There may me be a few minor imperfections, some faint toning or wear (mostly to edges or fold), and some faint offset that can be expected with age. Please review the image and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 23 1/2" by 17 1/2". Seller Inventory # sansonfolio02-079
