Image is 8 1/8 inches by 11 inches on a folded sheet measuring 9 inches by 12 13/16 inches. Original hand-colored copper-engraved map from Sanson's atlas of maps of the Americas: L'Amerique en Plusieurs Cartes. It is a map of the Viceroyalty of Peru that displays the Amazon River and its many tributaries. Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) was the official geographer for the king of France. His map of Peru and the Amazon became the standard that was copied by almost all geographers/cartographers--even reproduced by Bion for his 1700 treatise on globes. Cintra and Oliveira argue that Sanson's map was a scientific one that holds up well, even when compared to 21st century maps of the region. The map is in about very good condition: clean, with bright original outline color; minimal foxing ; some edgewear and soiling in the margins. Size: 8 1/8 inches by 11 Inches.
