Sanson published his first folio atlas in 1654 with 100 maps, engraved and printed by Pierre Mariette. Sanson's series of quarto atlases were originally published separately as "L'Europe" in 1648 by Sanson's son, also Nicholas, who was tragically killed in the "Barricades" insurrection the same year, "L'Asie" in 1652, "L'Afrique" in 1656, and "L'Amerique" in 1657. This atlas contains maps of Amerique Septentrionale, Isle d'Islande (1667), Le Canada, ou Nouvelle France, la Floride, Mexico, Guadalajara, Guatimala, Les Ilses Antilles, Amerique Meridionale, Terre Ferme. de Grenade, Guiane, Le Perou, Le Chilli, Le Bresil, Le Paraguay, and Detroit de Magellan. Sanson was known for supplying the most accurate geographic information and finest engraving, inititing the preeminent "French school of cartography". His "Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde"was the most significant example of French cartography of the seventeenth century. Sabin 76708.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Paris: Pierre Mariette, 1665. Folio (17 2/8 x 12 6/8 inches). Title-page with woodcut device, 2-page letterpress list of maps, and two appendices only: Sanson's 'Table alphabetique de toutes les villes . dans la carte d'Italie' (38 pages) and 'Table alphabetique de toutes les villes dans la carte… du Rein', Paris: 1646 (12 double-pages, blank on verso). 134 double-page engraved maps by Pierre Mariette after Sanson (of a possible 171 listed by Pastoureau), EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with a further 62 maps after Sanson and other French and Dutch cartographers, including P. du Val, P. de la Rue, C. Danckerts, J. Jansson, and J. and H. Hondius, all double-page and in a few cases folding, usually hand-coloured in outline, mounted on guards and continuously numbered in manuscript up to 195, including 46 bis (map of Paraguay heavily stained at upper margin, that of southern South America restored with loss to sea area, a few small repairs elsewhere, map of Corsica and Sardinia slightly waterstained, marginal waterstaining affecting several other maps, some browning to additional maps and occasional shaving of borders, lower corners curling slightly through most of the volume). 18th-century English half calf and blue marbled paper boards (joints cracked, extremities rubbed). Provenance: extensive contemporary manuscript alterations to map list, manuscript numbering; 4-page manuscript 'Table des Cartes' in an 18th-century hand; Foljambe Collection removed from Osberton Hall, with the discreet woodcut library stamp of Francis Ferrand Foljambe (1749 - 1814) at the foot of the title-page, and the foot of the binding, his sale 30th April 2008, lot 99. The maps were compiled by Nicolas Sanson who first published his atlas in 1654, with 100 maps, and engraved and printed by Pierre Mariette; each held the copyright to half of the maps which bear their separate imprints, and were issued progressively from 1630. The maps in this Atlas date from 1632 "Carte Geographique des Postes qui traversent la France" by Melchior Tavernier, but are evenly dated from the 1640s to 1667. They include the latest discoveries in the New World. 'Amerique sepentrionale', dated 1650, shows the Great Lakes for the first time; these also appear in the 1656 map of Canada. The map of New Mexico and Florida, also 1656, introduced California as an island. South America is mapped in great detail, and a double hemisphere map is devoted to the two poles. The 'Table des Cartes' calls for a total of 166 maps, 134-166 being maps of the ancient world which were clearly never bound into this copy. The extra-illustrated maps can be identified by their slightly smaller size, and not only include additional maps by Sanson but, more unusually, a significant contribution by other cartographers. Born in Abbeville, a town in the Picardy region of France, in 1600, Sanson was the most noted French cartographer in modern history. Mapmaker to Louis XIV, King of France, Sanson endowed his maps with the most recent geographical information as well as the finest and sharpest engraving of the period. His "Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde" was the most important single product of French commercial cartography of the seventeenth century. Sanson sparked a renaissance in geographical endeavor in his native country, which had not been a major player since the sixteenth century. With this atlas, Sanson helped move the center of cartographic innovation from Holland to France.

With this atlas, Sanson laid the foundations of French domination in map production, initiating the so-called "French school of cartography," a school that was unprecedented in its attention to precision and scientific detail and discarded much of the decorative embellishments of previous maps as irrelevant. From Sanson's time in the second half of the seventeenth century until the latter part of the eighteenth century, French geographical conceptions were more influential than those put forward by any other nation. With this landmark atlas, Sanson all but single-handedly caused the center of cartographic innovation to shift from Holland to France. Lloyd Arnold Brown, The World Encompassed, exh. cat.

Engraved Size 17.5 x 23 inches Nicolas Sanson (1600-166…7) sometimes called Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville or Sanson d'Abbeville, was the most important French cartographer of the 17th century. Tooley called Sanson "the founder of the French school of cartography." He began making maps in the late 1620s, and in the 1630s he was working with Melchior Tavernier. Later, Sanson worked in concert with the print publisher Pierre Mariette, with whom he published his great atlas: Cartes générales de toutes les parties du monde (1658). After Sanson's death in 1667, his son Guillaume carried on the business in partnership with Alexis Hubert Jaillot. Guillaume established himself as a very important French mapmaker in his own right.

Condition: Good. 22 x 16 inches. Very Good. 17th Century hand colored map of Lower Lombardy. Some toning, and two one-inch tears at bottom edge. Text in French. Scarce.Nicholas Sanson (1600-1667) is considered the father of French cartography in its golden age from the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-eighteenth. Over the cour…se of his career he produced over 300 maps. His success can be chalked up to his geographic and research skills, but also to his partnership with Pierre Mariette. Previously, Sanson had worked primarily with the publisher Melchior Tavernier. Mariette purchased Tavernier's business in 1644. Sanson worked with Mariette until 1657, when the latter died. Mariette's son, also Pierre, helped to publish the Cartes générales de toutes les parties du monde.

Contact seller5-star seller2 sheets joined (sheet size 21 6/8 x 30 inches; 18 x 27 7/8 inches to the neat line), full margins showing the plate mark. A fine engraved detailed map of Europe, the title within a nicely ornamented Louis-XV-style cartouche upper right, scale within a small sober cartouche, the left part of the map is a kind of manual which giv…es some information on the scientific information the map provides in political geography, natural geography and astronomic geography; with original hand color in outline (spot on the upper middle margin, vertical fold marks, a little toned at the edges). A fine and very interesting political, natural and astronomical map of Europe. Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688-1766), also known as Le Sieur or Monsieur Robert, and his son, Didier Robert de Vaugondy (c.1723-1786), were leading mapmakers in France during the 18th century. In 1757, they published The 'Atlas Universel' in which they integrated older sources with more modern maps. This dialogue between old and new is also suitable for this map, as it is originally made by Nicholas Sanson (1600-1667), who was the founder of the French school of cartography.
