The atlas features maps of India Persia China Japan the Maldives Arabia and the Philippines among others. Just prior to publication of this series of works which also included atlases of Europe and Africa Sanson formed a partnership with Pierre Mariette an engraver and printseller. Pursuant to their contract Sanson drew the maps and Mariette engraved and printed them. Each maintained possession of half of the plates and they were allowed to exchange and/or buy from one another. Some bore the address of Sanson others Mariette. But Sanson allowed Mariette to store his plates and Mariette without prior agreement started placing his address on Sanson’s plates. In time a lawsuit which had been prosecuted was settled when both died and their respective sons took over the business. This atlas is a fine examples of French mapping by the foremost French cartographer of the seventeenth century. Sanson 1600-1667 “Geographe Ordinaire du Roi” to Louis XIII is considered the founder of French cartography and is generally acknowledged as the originator of the great age of French cartography. chez l’Autheur unknown books

Sanson from Halma's Algemeene Werelde Beschryving Vol. 3 Black and white; title in Dutch; verso blank; strapwork title cartouche. Attractive small map of Canada and the Great Lakes a reduced version of one of the most influential seventeenth century maps of the French and English colonies in North America. It concentrates on the region of greatest French interest. The entire Great Lakes basin and the St. Lawrence River are shown in great detail. The most important aspect of the map is the first appearance of L. Erie ou du Chat as a recognizable lake on an atlas map. This delineation influenced the cartography of the region for more than 100 years and was not superceded until Delisle's "Carte du Canada" in 1703. The map is also an outstanding source for Indian tribal names and locations. Two names:Aouentsiouaeron and Attiouandarons appear here for the first time.

Best.-Nr. 3240Americas: Amsterdam Francois Halma 1705. Copper engraved map of Florida by N. Sanson from Halma's Algemeene Werelde Beschryving Vol. 3 Black and white; title in Dutch; verso blank; strapwork title cartouche. This influential map shows the Spanish and French possessions in the southern part of the United States. The map extends from the southernmost part of Virginia to the coast of what is now Texas. When first introduced by Sanson in 1657 this map was the first to use the name L. Erie in an atlas and to introduce several new rivers in Virginia. The French claims in the Carolinas are reasserted with the region named Floride Francoise despite the region not having had any French presence for nearly 100 years. The place name Caroline is not related to the future English colony of Carolina. Instead it is a confusion between the French Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River and Charlefort that was located near Port Royal. According to Burden this is the third state of the map.

Best.-Nr. 3247Americas: Amsterdam Francois Halma 1705. Copper engraved map of Guyana by N. Sanson from Halma's Algemeene Werelde Beschryving Vol. 3 Black and white; title in Dutch; verso blank; strapwork title cartouche. The map shows a large lake or inland sea Lac ou Mer que les Caribes appellent Parime les Iaoyi Roponowini. and located on its shores the mythical city of El Dorado or Manoa. Lake Parime or Lake Parima is a legendary lake located in South America. It was reputedly the location of the fabled city of El Dorado also known as Manoa much sought-after by European explorers. Repeated attempts to find the lake failed to confirm its existence and it was dismissed as a myth along with the city. The search for Lake Parime led explorers to map the rivers and other features of southern Venezuela northern Brazil and southwestern Guyana before the lake's existence was definitively disproved in the early 19th century. Some explorers proposed that the seasonal flooding of the Rupununi savannah may have been misidentified as a lake. Recent geological investigations suggest that a lake may have existed in northern Brazil but that it dried up some time in the 18th century. Both "Manoa" Arawak language and "Parime" Carib language are believed to mean "big lake".

1699Best.-Nr. 15831Amsterdam: Chez Arnout van Ravenstein 1699. 222 by 272mm. 8.75 by 10.75 inches. Engraved map. Second state of the plate first published in Halma's pirated edition of Sanson's 'L'Asie en plvsiers cartes nouvelles et exactes; ' as part of 'L'Europe; L'Asie; L'Amerique en Pluiers Cartes' 1683. A direct copy of Sanson's map of 1652 the only differences being the lack of a privilege and a date in the cartouche the addition of the signature of the engraver Antoine de Winter in the lower left corner. This issue is distinguished by the addition of mountains added in 'Isle de Corey' and 'Terre de Iesso'; and the 'Mer de Japan' above 'Oriental'. Francois Halma 1653-1722 set up his printing business in Utrecht in 1674 where he issued a number of pirated maps and atlases. In this instance since Sanson was dead Halma may have felt that there no harm and much profit to be gained from re-printing his work. The engraver Antoine de Winter c1652-1700 achieved some notoriety for plagiarizing Petter Gedda's charts of the Baltic Sea selling them on to Loots and Doncker for inclusion in their atlases who were subsequently sued and ordered to surrender the plates and pay a fine of 300 florins. Sanson originally credited "Caardin sic Varenius" and 'others' for his map. Generally the geography follows that of Moreira/Blancus only a small portion of the eastern coast of Korea is shown without stating whether it is an island or not and there is only a hint of Hokkaido in the far northeast corner with the place name Matzumay. Varenius or Bernhard Varen fl1622-1650 was a German physician geographer and natural historian. He settled in Amsterdam and was a friend of the Blaeu family. He published 'Descriptio regni Japonia ' in 1649 and came to be known as 'the father of physical geography' Hubbard. Sanson 1600-1667 was a French mapmaker. He supposedly began to make maps to supplement his study of history and a map of Ancient Gaul made early in his career brought him to the attention of Cardinal Richelieu. This foothold in the French court allowed him to rise to the position of Geographe du Roi teaching both Louis XIII and Louis XIV. Louis XIII even made him a counsellor of state. Sanson produced an atlas 'Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde' which contained important maps of the post roads and waterways of France. He also produced two major maps of North America: 'Amerique Septentrionale' 1650 was the first map to show the Great Lakes in a recognisable form aided by Sanson's access to The Jesuit Relations a collection of accounts by French missionaries to the area. The map was also drawn on a sinusoidal projection which Sanson was the first to use. In 1656 he made 'Le Canada ou Nouvelle France' which showed the Great Lakes in greater detail and included accurate representations of the Hudson Bay area the Delaware and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. After Sanson's death the business was carried on by his two surviving sons and grandson in partnership with Hubert Jaillot. Sanson family members were revered among the foremost map makers in France for nearly a century. A leading exemplar of the French school of seventeenth-century cartography Nicholas Sanson I 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 Hubbard 51.2.
