165217601Paris: chez l'autheur 1652. 265 by 370mm. 10.5 by 14.5 inches. Maps""Les Isles Molucques; Celebes Gilolo &c. Sanson's Moluccas Engraved chart with contemporary hand-colour in outline. Detailed map of the island east of Borneo in Southeast Asia with an inset of Banda and the Moluccas. Published in Sanson's 'L'Asie en Plusieurs Cartes.' 1652. Nicolas Sanson 1600-1667 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 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. chez l'autheur, unknown

2570Americas: Paris Par N Sanson . Chez Pierre Mariette. 1656-8. Copper engraved map of the Caribbean by Nichols sanson from his"Cartes Generales De Toutes Les Parties Du Monde". Original outline colour; verso blank. The map shows all the islands of the Caribbean with the southern tip of Florida and the coasts to the south. Decorative title cartouche . Good impression; slight dampstaining to edges far from plate ; small stain just below cartouche. 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 His career marks the start of the process by which Paris superseded Amsterdam as the centre of European map production.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 couple of very light minor spots around the main cartouche else map surface is lovely and bright and clean. No offsetting or darkening. A stunning map. With two decorative cartouches with scale. With later hand-colouring. Jaillot's oversized map of North America notable for the large island of California poised off the West Coast first published in 1674. Tooley notes rather critically: “Jaillot who succeeded to Sanson's business makes a rehash of his maps. California is copied from Sanson's map of 1656. The remainder of the map is based on that of 1669. Jaillot retains the 5 lakes with two open at their western ends. He shows New Sweden and New Amsterdam. Curiously he omits Montreal but does insert a few French Missions round the Great Lakes. Large handsome titlepiece with arms of the Dauphin natives and indigenous fauna.” The map was reissued many times and its “long life was to in part to the expense of production for it continued in use long after its geographical information became out of date.” Tooley 37 Plate 44; McLaughlin 55.
