Paris: Chez P. Mariette 1651. Single sheet engraved map with full margins original hand-color in outline 17 x 22 � inches sheet; 26 � x 32 inches framed A fantastic uncolored map depicting one of the earliest views of the World. This map was created by one of the single most important French cartographers of the 17th century Nicholas Sanson D'Abbeville. This innovative approach to mapmaking redefined commercial cartography over the next 50 years and signal the beginning end of the Dutch domination over trade. Sanson's noteworthy double hemisphere map of the world featuring his first depiction of the Island of California using a model for the shape which would be known as the first Sanson model. The map also provides a good look at the Great Lakes of North America a region for which Sanson's regional maps would become the most advanced depiction of the cartography of the region for the next 30 years. It is one of the first maps to distinguish the Great Lakes with Lac Superior first named here. Lake Michigan here called Lac des puans lake of evil smells is also introduced here. All five of the Great Lakes were not named until Sanson's 1656 map of New France. Neither Tasmania or New Zealand is shown. A faint outline of Terra Magellanica appears in the south reflecting the uncertainty of the time. Australia is only partially shown and is labeled Beach after Marco Polo with place names on the south and west coasts reflecting the Dutch discoveries as they pursued the East Indian spice trade. The map is typical of Sanson's "scientific" style of cartography with no decorative elements. The map depicts a curious northwest Coast of America separated from California by an unnamed strait a curious omission for someone as meticulous as Sanson. This NorthWest Coast would disappear from his subsequent maps. It was published in conjunction with Pierre Mariette father and son who published many of Sanson's work after 1645.

Paris: 1657. Single sheet full margins original hand-color in outline 17 x 22 � inches sheet; 26 � x 32 inches framed An attractive double hemisphere map by "the Father of Cartogrpahy" Nicholas Sanson D'Abbeville. This map is based on the polar projections so as to include the northern and southern thirds of the world. The North Pole is found connected to Greenland and Spitzbergen but there is little other detailed coastline in the polar area. Europe Russia and Canada are delineated. The South Pole is based on the great unknown Southland of Magellan. The most southern tip of South America is shown and a large land mass "Terra Incognita" which encompasses the whole of the hemisphere but nothing else showing the limited extent of knowledge of these extreme latitudes. Extraordinarily enough though the southern projection which shows little more than the outline of a vast landmass 'Australe et Incogneue' roughly corresponding to Antarctica as we know it today long before any of it was discovered. Maps by Sanson in original colour are rare here with a colored outline. Nicolas Sanson 1600-1667 French cartographer who established the first great cartographic dynasty in France. He was tutor to Louis XIV. Sanson published over 300 maps and was a founder of the French school of mapmakers at a time when the leadership in European cartography passed from the Low Countries to France.

Freeman's 1/21/2005 Lot 203. First edition. Pocket atlas published by Fran�ois Halma the maps reduced from Sanson's 1658 folio atlas with Luyt's Tables Geographiques & Bion's l'Usage des Globes featuring striking folding plates diagramming the workings of the celestial systems. Without the world map the map of southern Germany and the map of Madagascar. 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 on the international cartographic stage since the great Oronce Fin� in the sixteenth century. 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. Although this atlas is always listed under Nicolas Sanson it is essentially Francois Halma's plagiarized pocket version of the Sanson atlas reduced from Sanson's 1658 folio atlas with the map divided into Continent groups. "Fran�ois Halma was an editor printer and publisher of theological historical and geographical works. His output was large. He first established his business in Utrecht in 1674 then moved to Amsterdam and finally settled in Leeuwarden where he died in 1722. Among his works was an edition of Mercator's Ptolemy 1695 and a reduced-size edition of Sanson's large atlas under the new title 'Description De Tout L'Univers' as here" Shirley Printed Maps of the British Isles 1650-1750 p. 66.
