166710027Paris 1667. No Binding. Near Fine. 12 ½ x 17 inches. Original outline color; excellent. Earliest map of Martinique listed in Phillips featuring attractive original color and an elegant cartouche. This map depicts the situation on the island before 1660 when it was still largely inhabited by natives and only about half of it had been claimed by colonists for sugar cane farming. The map goes so far as to mark with a printed line the partition dividing the "demeure des François" and the "demeure des savages." However by 1660 the entirety of the native population was either dead expelled or in slavery and Martinique was a full-fledged sugar cane-farming European colony. Phillips Maps P. 389. unknown books

169616269Paris: Alexis Hubert Jaillot 1696. Copper-engraved map with full original colour and gold embellishment in excellent condition. A stunning map of Normandy by Alexis Jaillot an exceptional example with gilt embellishments.<br/> <br/>One of the most important figures in French cartography Nicolas Sanson initiated the great school of French geographers. Born in Abbeville in 1600 Sanson established his first printing house in Paris in 1638. He soon became geographer to the king establishing himself as one of the most influential cartographers on the Continent. He was succeeded by his sons Adrien and Guillaume and by his son-in-law Pierre Duval who continued to publish a wealth of maps using Sanson's name. At the close of the seventeenth century Sanson's plates were purchased by the influential cartographer Alexis Hubert Jaillot who continued to publish his maps and atlases under Sanson's title. This stunning map of Normandy is based on Sanson's map published in 1650 but was redrawn and enlarged by Jaillot. It shows the provinces of Normandy as well as the northern tip of Brittany and part of the English Channel. Both Jersey and Guernsey are included as is Mont St. Michel off the coast of St. Malo. In keeping with all of Sanson's and Jaillot's superb maps forests rivers and towns are meticulously identified and named.
