Issued in six annual parts from 1700-1705 the maps are based on the new observations of the Académie des Sciences and drawn up with the assistance of Philipe de La Hire.Library of Congress:The French cartographer and engraver Nicolas de Fer was a master at creating maps that were works of art. The maps that he published were printed during the Baroque period when the decorative arts were characterized by ornate detail. De Fer’s detailed maps and atlases were valued more for their decorative content than their geographical accuracy.Nicolas de Fer was born in 1646. His father Antoine de Fer owned a mapmaking firm. At the age of twelve Nicolas was apprenticed to a Parisian engraver named Louis Spirinx. The family business was starting to decline when his father died in 1673. Nicolas de Fer’s mother Genevieve took over the business after the death of her husband. In 1687 the business was passed on to Nicolas and the profits increased after he took over the firm. Nicolas de Fer was a prolific cartographer who produced atlases and hundreds of single maps. He eventually became the official geographer to King Louis XIV of France and King Philip V of Spain.One of de Fer’s major works is an atlas titled L’atlas curieux The curious atlas.
