1656réf. B2984Paris: Nicolas Sanson c. 1656. Lower right corner of the first eight leaves strengthened otherwise a very good copy maps and text are clean and crisp. In protective cloth slipcase. Edition: First edition. Binding: Full contemporary calf expertly rebacked with spine in six compartments of raised bands and finely-gilt motifs morocco label on two edges speckled red. Notes: This atlas was dedicated to the Superintendent of Finances at the time Nicolas Fouquet. Regarding a map of South and Central Africa published the year before which bears resemblance to this map of South Africa--‘Pays et Costes des Caffres’--in particular Norwich writes: “This map although a fine example of cartography is based on very little information; for example the desert-like coast of South West Africa is presented as a land rich in rivers. The fictitious states are given fictitious boundaries and the interior is marked with large cities such as Vigiti Magna and Monomotapa. This information led to subsequent exploration in search of these fabulous cities. Although the map is dated three years after the foundation of a settlement at the Cape by Jan van Riebeeck no mention is made of any European settlement anywhere in the south.” Size: 4to Illustration: Recent stencilled title. Complete with 18 maps of Africa and its territories in original outline colour. References: Tooley IV:103; Tooley Africa 100 Peyrounin edition; Norwich 37 & 158. Pages: P. 1-96.

réf. 48819Large atlas of Versailles and the surrounding towns with twelve maps total including one map depicting the overall area covered in the atlas and eleven more detailed maps covering the towns and immediate surroundings of Mantes Poissy St. Denis Crépieres Versailles Paris Montfor l'Amaury Chevreuse Sceaux Rambouillet Arpajon and Corbeil. Very minor scattered soiling or toning very fine condition. Elephant folio sheet size 32 x 22 inches. Original full calf binding with handwritten label affixed to front cover. Some minor scattered soiling and abrasions minor wear consistent with age. Paris Dépôt de la Guerre n.d. circa 1807. This suite of maps was commissioned by Louis XV to represent his hunting territories around Versailles and stemmed from his obsession with hunting coupled with a decision to copy an old map of the Duchy of Rambouillet. The maps are the result of three surveys of the land conducted between 1764 and 1773. The first nine maps including the overview were completed in the late 18th century under the reign of Louis XVI but the work was put on hold at the time of the Revolution when the credits allocated for completing the work were taken away by the National Convention. The last four maps were not completed until 1807 after Napoléon became Emperor. These maps are notable for their precision and the multitude of details represented including roads land use features such as plowing meadows vegetable crops barns and parks and hydrography. For his work on these maps Berthier was granted nobility status. A spectacular and scarce volume of beautiful maps; as of January 2018 WorldCat locates only two holdings in North America. unknown books
1662réf. bf4740Chez L'auteur Relié 1662 "MAGNIFIQUE ENSEMBLE DES QUATRE CONTINENTS CARTOGRAPHIÉS PAR LE PREMIER CARTOGRAPHE FRANÇAIS, DANS UN ÉTAT DE FRAICHEUR INCOMPARABLE. Quatre volumes petit in-4 (18,5 x 25 cm), reliés en plein veau brun de l'époque. Les reliures sont toutes identiques, dos à 5 nerfs, titrés, roulettes dorées sur les coupes. Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville est considéré comme le fondateur de la cartographie en France. En 1627, rencontrant Richelieu (il venait d'Abbeville et s'était installé à Paris), il fut présenté par lui à Louis XIII, qui le nomma Géographe Ordinaire du Roi. Il cartographia quatre continents (ici présents : l'Europe, l'Asie, l'Afrique et l'Amérique), et fut même le premier à cartographier certaines parties du globe (ainsi, par exemple, la région des grands lacs canadiens, avec sa carte ""Le Canada ou Nouvelle France"" (carte datant de 1656)). Il fut le premier Français à concevoir le plan d'un atlas mondial. Les cartes et le texte de chaque volume sont entièrement montés sur onglets. Chaque carte reçoit un commentaire explicatif, avec informations sur l'économie, les habitants et les moeurs du pays décrit, tiré des auteurs anciens (Pline, Strabbon...), de récits de voyageurs ou de rapports des missions des jésuites. De plus, chacune des cartes présente les tracés de contours des pays ou régions aquarellés. Les volumes s'organisent comme suit : L'Europe (sans date) : Titre et dédicace gravés sur double page, 12 cartes doubles et 30 feuillets imprimés au recto. L'Asie (1662) : 108 pages (avec erreurs connues de chiffrage et inversion de feuillets) et 17 cartes doubles. L'Afrique (1662) : 96 pages et 17 planches doubles, proposant 18 cartes (car l'une des planches porte deux cartes) (ce volume est le seul à présenter une petite mouillure sur les quelques premières pages). L'Amérique (1662) : non paginé (80 pages) et 15 cartes doubles. Nos exemplaires sont en TRÈS BEL ÉTAT. Les pages sont très fraiches, sans aucune réelle trace, tache, piqûre ni mouillure. Les cartes, particulièrement, sont dans un vraiment très bel état de fraîcheur, avec des couleurs extrêmement éclatantes. Les reliures présentent des traces peu visibles de réparations anciennes. Les volumes ont étés reliés avec contre-gardes, mais sans pages de garde. Ce rare ensemble est véritablement en TRÈS BEL ÉTAT.
