Nicolas Sanson 1600-1667 is generally acknowledged as the founder of the great French school of geographers and cartographers that supplanted the Dutch as the leading European map-makers. His work was acclaimed for its geographical accuracy and high standard of engraving. As a consequence his many maps received a wide diffusion. His career marks the start of the process by which Paris superseded Amsterdam as the centre of European map production. Nicolas studied Ancient History as a young man and this awoke in him an interest in classical geography. His first map of ancient Gaul was made in 1618 when he was only 18. Sanson had three sons Nicolas 1626-1648 Guillaume d.1703 and Adrien d.1708 and a grandson Pierre Moullard-Sanson d.1730 all of whom were involved in the family's map-making activities. After Sanson settled in Paris his work came to the attention of King Louis XIII who eventually appointed Sanson Geographe Ordinaire du Roi one of whose duties was to tutor the King in geography. Sanson published some 300 maps in his career though his first most famous atlas the folio "Cartes Generales De Toutes Les Parties Du Monde" was not published until 1658. He would go into partnership with Pierre Mariette a publisher of prints. Sanson also prepared a series of quarto atlases of the different continents. These scarce atlases are more frequently encountered in the Dutch piracy engraved by Anthony d'Winter first published in 1683. The Sanson atlases are rarely found with a standard set of maps; the practice seems to have been that additional or revised plates would be inserted as available. After Sanson's death the business was continued by his two surviving sons and grandson in partnership with and later superseded by Alexis Hubert Jaillot. Credit must go Jaillot and Pierre Duval for re-engraving his maps many still unprinted at his death and re-publishing them in face of strong competition from the Dutch who continued to dominate the market until the end of the century.

A man sitting in a wooden chair lifts his hand for emphasis and declares: "After all there is nothing like the true old orthodox principles." An obese clergyman in a padded armchair on the right responds: "Orthodox principles - ah my dear friend you put me in mind of old times - when I was but a simple vicar. How I used to charm my congregation - slim as a Bedles wand - & delicate as a new wash'd surplice - but since I have been raised to higher dignities I do nothing but remain in my chair; bulky & unweildy as a Folio Church Service. - oh how elegantly I used to manage my discourses - fifteen minutes to a point by the clock under the gallery - never exceeded - short praye - text - and devision - one - two - three & away - that was my method." Plate 8. A man with a parcel under his arm bows slightly and says: "I have brought your Honor home your new suit." A stout bespectacled lawyer replies: "Suit - ah - Mr. Buckram you did not know me when I practiced in the Courts - I could have shewn you suits that would have puzzled Judge Blackstone himself - none of your simple matters - brim full of Law as a brief bag - intricate as the Temple avenues -& long as Westminster Hall - Shy Clients sometimes - but it would not do with Paul Parchment - sure to have them on way or other. - Once in never out that was my motto." Plate 10. A former Minister holding his hat wearing a bag-wig and with his pocket filled with scrolls addresses a woman: "Madam - I was once a Minister and used to Negotiations I shall therefore be happy to treat with you on Matrimonial Speculation - I have ample credentials ready to ratify my powers and if you please will enter into preliminaries immediately - but let me have a sight glance at your project and be assured I will deliver to you my contre projet as soon as the definitive treaty is concluded and duly guaranteed." The woman who is short and plump looks aghast at the proposition. London: S.W. Fores, 1801 unknown
