1662ref. 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.
