A FIRST STATE example of an ornate map of England and Wales first published in Nicolas Sanson's 'Les Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde' in 1665. Sanson 1600-67 was France's premier cartographer and helped to lift the field onto another level during his career. In 1665 two folio maps were issued one of the British Isles and this of England and Wales. The map outlines the modern counties along with the traditional Anglo-Saxon heptarchy which are here outlined in colour. With an attractive cartouche upper right. The cartography is derived from that of John Speed Willem Blaeu and Johannes Jansson.

ref. 6991Paris: 1665. No binding. Very Good. 400 x 490 mm. in fine early outline colour in very good condition. This map of northern Ireland was published in Paris by Pierre Mariette. It was first introduced in to a later edition of Nicolas Sanson's ""Les Cartes Generales"" in 1665. Nicolas Sanson was to bring about the rise of French cartography although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the century. This shift in cartographic centres shadowed the relative fortunes of the two countries; France under Louis XIV was a growing power in Europe. Born in Abbeville in the Picardy region of France 1600 Sanson studied history and turned to cartography as a means of recording it. In 1630 he was made Géographe Ordinaire du Roi and was to become one of the tutors to Louis XIV. However his future success was partly owing to the partnership he made with the publisher Pierre Mariette. In 1644 the latter had purchased the business of Melchoir Tavernier and helped Sanson with financial support in producing the maps for the planned atlas. His atlas is the first full world atlas to be produced in France. This work had been in development for several years as the dates on the various maps attest. A fine example of the first state.
