Nicholas was established as an engraver, cartographer, and map publisher in Paris, with over 600 maps and atlases to his credit. His work earned a large following because of its considerable decorative appeal. In the late 17th century, de Fer's career culminated in his appointment as Geographer to the King of France. Upon his death in 1720, Nicolas was succeeded by two of his sons-in-law, Guillaume Danet and Jacques-François Danet and their heirs, who continued the de Fer publishing firm until c. 1760.

Nicolas de Fer (164625 October 1720) was a French cartographer and geographer. De Fer was the youngest of three sons of Antoine de Fer, who was also a cartographer. When he was 12, he became the apprentice of Parisian engraver Louis Spirinx, and made his first map, of the Canal du Midi, at the age of 23. After the death of his father in June 1673, his mother Geneviève initially took over the map making company, which had begun to decline. She passed it and the atelier, called Quai de L'Horloge, on to Nicolas in 1687 because of her old age. De Fer was so successful at improving the firm that, in 1690, he became the official geographer to Louis, Dauphin of France. With support from the Spanish and French Royal Families, de Fer also became official geographer for Philip V and Louis XIV, the kings of Spain and France, respectively. Because of this, his maps became Bourbon propaganda, endorsing French King Louis XIV. His business flourished, producing town plans, atlases, wall maps, and more than 600 sheet maps. He made maps of places in Europe and North America, including New Spain, places fortified by Vauban, the Low Countries, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1698, de Fer published a map of North America, which included a depiction of beavers building dams near Niagara Falls. Seventeen years later, Herman Moll published a map which plagiarized elements of de Fer's work, particularly the beaver scene. It became known as the "Beaver map". De Fer became the official geographer for His Catholic Majesty in 1720. Two of his sons-in-law, Guillaume Danet and Jaques-François Bénard, continued the company after de Fer's death on 25 October of that year until around 1760. (Wikipedia).

Engraved double page map, 28" x 20", wide margins, hand colored in outline, two uncolored pictorial cartouches. Expert and nearly invisible repairs along centerfold, normal aging; about near fine. Impression is bright and clean. Nicholas De Fer (1646-1720) was a highly respected and prolific French cartographer whose maps were valued for their decorative appeal. Around 1690 he was made the geographer to the Dauphin, and published his first atlas. He would become geographer to other high-ranking individuals in French and Spanish society. The present map is detailed and attractive map of Asia, with a cartouche showing Chinese at the upper left, and Indians in the upper right. The map covers a lot of territory showing Arabia and the Persian Empire in the West, and Japan in the east, but goes as far south as the Isle of Borneo and Java. Part of Eastern Europe is also visible. Library missouri website.

Condition: Very Good. Ginville, Vincent de (illustrator). First Edition. Ginville, Vincent de. First Edition. Paper size 42.5 cm x 28.5 cm. Plate mark 34 x 22.5 cm. Marginal paper clip stain, inked '109' upper right corner, some marginal chipping to the paper, and old penciled price lower right. A few unobtrusive spots inside the plate marks. Copperplate engraving by Vincent de Ginville with later (awfully bright) hand color. This map would frame up nicely. There appears to be several versions of this map. The David Rumsey Collection has an example dated (on the cartouch) 1705 which he notes as being from Nicolas De Fer's Atlas Curieux, published later. The Library of Congress has an example of the map offered here, with the 1701 date, and a separate page with explanations of the map. We don't know where this 1701 example came from (separately issued or another atlas?). The map highlights locations of Indian villages found by La Salle during his explorations of the coastal areas of the United States. We see the Gulf of Mexico, Cap de la Floride and many inland village names. A nice map showing some early history of the southern United States. It includes parts of modern-day Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, as well as the Bahamas and Cuba.

Er bildete zusammen mit dem zerstörten Palais des Tuileries das Pariser Stadtschloss. Die Herkunft des Namens Louvre ist unklar; zahlreiche Deutungen konkurrieren miteinander.
