Description

An extremely rare scientific atlas, published in 1707, followed by 29 maps published and or corrected by P. Moullart-Sanson, with 18 maps relating to the Americas.

First part illustrated with 21 plates of spheres and hemispheres, second part illustrated with 8 maps, 5 for the continents, 2 for the climates and one for the Colonial demarcation lines between Castille/Spain and Portugal, all with original outline colors. The atlas is dedicated to Jean-Paul Bignon, Abbott of Saint-Quentin, an influential member of the French Academy and the nephew of the then secretary of state Pontchartrain.

Nicolas Sanson (1600-67) was succeeded by his sons Guillaume and Adrien. Their nephew Pierre Moullart-Sanson bought the map business from the former in 1694 and in 1704, after Guillaume's death, received a royal privilege to continue to publish the family maps.

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.

We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
