Sanson d'Abbeville Geog. du Roy A Paris Chez l'Auteur Et chez Pierre Mariette rue S. Iacques a l Esperance 1650. Avec privilege du Roy pour vingt Ans Single sheet 17 x 22 6/8 inches; 15 2/8 x 22 6/8 inches to the neat line; full margins showing the plate mark. Engraved map of North and Central America showing the northeastern and southern coasts and territories in close detail particularly New France and the Great Lakes all of which are shown here for the FIRST TIME the west coast extends as far north as as California which is shown as an island and New Mexico; the title appears within a fine rococo cartouche upper right with lines of latitude and longitude numbered every 5 degrees all with fine original colour in outline on paper watermarked with Grapes similar to Heawood 2428 with word Colonbier around grapes central vertical crease a bit browned corners chipped with loss Provenance: with Alta California Books 7/66; from the important cartographical library of Warren Heckrotte his sale Rare Cartography Exploration and Voyages Part I 29th October 2015 lot 176 First edition third issue. There are three states of the map: the first state of which only two examples are known which has no land to the north-west of California; the second state also quite uncommon adds coastline to the north and west and eliminates a few place-names north of California; the third state is the same as the second except that Lake Ontario has been shaded to match the other Great Lakes. Sanson's "Amerique Septentrionale" is the most influential map of North America of the 17th-century. On it for the first time on a printed map are depictions of all five of the Great Lakes. "LANDMARK MAP OF NORTH AMERICA" Burden "In 1650 Sanson published his LANDMARK MAP OF NORTH AMERICA. It was drawn with his usual care using the sinusoidal projection which is sometimes known by the name Sanson-Flamstead. It is perhaps most important for being the first printed map to delineate the five Great Lakes in a recognisable form. Sanson's map was the first to name Lakes Superior and Ontario and Lakes Erie and Huron unnamed appear in a more familiar form. Montreal recorded here at the important junction of the R des Prairies Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence River was chosen by Champlain in 1611 as the site for a trading post but it was not until 1642 that it became occupied year round. The waters of the north illustrate the continued hope of a North West Passage. The majority of the cartography of New France was new and would remain as the most accurate until seperseded by Coronelli in 1688. The east coast of North America does not bear much detail but one interesting feature is the location of "Novelle Amsterdam" on an island some distance off shore. The reference to N. Suede is the first on a printed map of the Swedish colony founded in 1638. The south and south-east are largely similar to those of the Hondius America Septentrionalis 1636. "To the west S. Fe Navajo Apache Taosij and others all appear for the first time. The first is incorrectly placed on the west bank of the Rio Grande here again flowing to the south-west. These were the first advances in the geography of this region for some time. California as an island is of the Briggs type with some important alterations; Sanson introduces four placenames from the de Laet map of 1630 C. de Fortune C. de Pinos C. de S. Martin and C. de Galera" Burden 294. Louis XIV The sun King King of France 1643�1715 had ruled his country and a large proportion of North America for a mere 7 years when Sanson created this magnificent map of his French Dominions there. His reign principally from his great palace at Versailles covered one of Frances most brilliant periods and Louis the Sun King remains the symbol of absolute monarchy of the classical age. However the beginning of his reign was fraught with conflict at home and abroad. "Louis was nine years old when the nobles and the Paris Parlement a powerful law court driven by hatred of the prime minister Cardinal Jules Mazarin rose against the crown in 1648. This marked the beginning of the long civil war known as the Fronde in the course of which Louis suffered poverty misfortune fear humiliation cold and hunger. These trials shaped the future character behaviour and mode of thought of the young king. He would never forgive either Paris the nobles or the common people. In 1653 Mazarin was victorious over the rebels and then proceeded to construct an extraordinary administrative apparatus with Louis as his pupil" Encyclopedia Britannica. On the world stage the war begun in 1635 between France and Spain was entering its last phase by the 1650s and the outcome would transfer European hegemony from the Habsburgs to the Bourbons; in a further series of conflicts between 1667 and 1697 he extended France�s eastern borders at the expense of the Habsburgs and then in the War of the Spanish Succession 1701�1714 engaged a hostile European coalition in order to secure the Spanish throne for his grandson. Sanson family members were revered among the foremost map makers in France for nearly a century. A leading exemplar of the French school of 17th century cartography Nicholas Sanson is widely regarded as the founder of modern geography and it is generally held that the so-called "Great Age" of French cartography originated with his publications. This exquisite hand-colored map of is a prime example of Nicholas Sanson's cartographic mastery. Sanson was born in Abeville a town in the Picardy region of France in the year 1600. As a young adult Sanson was a fervent historian focusing his studies particularly on the ancient world. Many have hypothesized that Sanson turned to cartography simply as a way of illustrating his work on ancient history. Whatever his motivations for pursuing a career in map-publication Sanson was undoubtedly the most prolific French cartographer during the reign of Louis XIV and as a result he was appointed G�ographe Ordinaire du Roi in 1630. Sanson also served as a private geography tutor for the King. In the span of his career Sanson published some 300 maps and two world atlases. He produced his first map when he was 16 and published his first atlas in 1645. Sanson also produced a series of four octavo volumes each one devoted to one of the four known continents. Sanson's productions were praised for their precision and renowned for their attention to detail without excessive decoration. Indeed some critics argued that his maps were too stark.

‎SANSON d'Abbevile Nicolas 1600 67‎

‎Amerique Septentrionale‎

‎Paris: N. Sanson & P. Mariette 1651. Copper-engraved map with original outline colour. The rare second state of this highly important map of North America by the founder of the French School of cartography. This very rare map is the most geographically progressive portrayal of the continent made at its time and was not superseded until Vincenzo Maria Coronelli's map of 1688. Importantly it is the first map to depict the Great Lakes in a recognizable form and the first to name Lake Ontario and Lake Superior. In his rendering of the region Sanson benefited from having received a copy of The Jesuit Relations published in Paris in 1649 a detailed account by French missionaries who had traveled in the region. Most notably this included Father Paul Ragueneau's account of his visit to Niagara Falls and Jean Nicollet's discovery of Lake Michigan "Lac des Puans" in 1634. Down the St. Lawrence River from the lakes Montréal is named the settlement having been founded by the Sieur de Maisonneuve in 1642. Elsewhere to the north a mysterious strait weaves over "New South Wales" on Hudson's Bay terminating in the interior of the continent a blank space labeled as "Mer Glaciale". This alludes to the existence of a much hoped-for Northwest Passage. On the eastern seaboard the map notes "Nouvelle Amsterdam" in the place of present day New York and is the first printed map to label "Nouvelle Suede" referring to the Swedish colony centered on Fort Christina founded on the site of present-day Wilmington Delaware in 1638. To the far southwest Sanson based his depiction on the Father Alonso Benavides Memorial a travel account of New Mexico published in Madrid in 1630. It is the first printed map to label "Santa Fe" which is incorrectly shown to be on the banks of the Rio Grande and the domains of various native tribes such as the "Apache" "Navajo" and the "Taosij" Taos. To the west California is shown as a large island and features some of the same nomenclature as found on Johannes de Laet's map of 1630. A striking aspect of the map is the sinusoidal projection employed by Sanson that essentially places the globe on an elliptical graticule creating a very pleasing aesthetic. The composition is finished by an extremely elegant Baroque title cartouche featuring swags of fruit and vegetation. Nicholas Sanson was born in the town of Abbeville in Picardy. Something of a child prodigy by the age of eighteen he could already be found in Paris drafting his own maps. There he quickly rose to become Royal Geographer to Louis XIII in 1630. He maintained the position upon the ascension of the "Sun King" Louis XIV in 1643 and later served as tutor to the ambitious young monarch. In 1644 he formed a lucrative partnership with Paris publisher Pierre Mariette with the objective of producing a great atlas that could rival those of the Amsterdam houses such as Blaeu and Jansson. The present map was devised as one of the most important maps in the atlas. The first state of the map was printed in 1650 and the present second state appeared a year later. The atlas itself entitled Les Cartes Générales de toutes les parties du Monde was not finally assembled until 1658. It was however a landmark moment in the history of French cartography being the first folio atlas produced in that country. The extremely high quality of Sanson's work motivated other French mapmakers to improve the standard of their production. Sanson also greatly influenced Louis XIV's chief minister Jean-Baptisite Colbert to heavily fund cartographic projects. This gave rise to a great French School of cartography that was to eventually wrest dominance of the mapmaking market from the Dutch by the 1680s. After Sanson's death in 1667 his work was continued by his sons Guillaume d.1703 and Adrian d.1708. The first state of this map is extremely rare with Burden citing but two copies in private American collections. This second state is also quite rare and can be recognized by addition of a coastline north west of California but with Lake Ontario unshaded and with the appearance of a river system. "With his 1650 Map of North America Sanson had introduced a great deal of information concerning the nomenclature of American Indians with words such as Apache and Navajo appearing on printed maps for the first time. He was also the first cartographer to show Santa Fe as the capital of New Mexico . an extraordinary document of the cultural and geographical resources known in the centers of learning in Europe" Martin & Martin.
