Description
For this atlas, as for that of Tavernier, there are variations from one copy to another, a given region may be represented by different maps, depending on the stock available at the sale of the atlas.
The world map is that of edition A of 1650 by Tavernier; the map of France Nova Gallia is replaced by L'Empire Francois, 1637 by Tavernier; the maps of Maine, Nivernais, Auvergne and Spain are those of edition A.
The map of the islands St Honorat and Ste Marguerite is that of Tassin (replacing that of Tavernier).
"On February 12, 1644, Pierre Mariette acquired the major part of Melchior Tavernier's stock. Mariette's "Théâtre géographique" succeeds that of Tavernier but bears little resemblance to him.
Indeed, it provides only 60 maps (whereas Tavernier gave 106) and, among these, only 3 Dutch maps and 7 maps published by Tavernier. The core of the atlas is composed of 26 maps of Tassin, from the "Cartes générales de toutes les provinces de France". This suggests that Antoine de Fer and Nicolas Berey, who had bought the copperplates of Tassin in 1644, had then sold them to Pierre Mariette.
Quantitatively, a second group of maps is constituted by Mariette's own printings, about 17. In addition to the maps of Peyrounin and Duval, there is a world map, copied from that of Hondius-Tavernier, and anonymous maps: France, Italy, Germany and the British Isles.
Then comes a series of 10 maps published by Michel van Lochom: the four continents, copied from those of Bertius-Tavernier, Picardy by Pierre van Lochom, Auvergne, the Viscounty of Turenne, Spain, Portugal and, in association with Mariette, Maine.
The atlas also contains 7 maps by Tavernier, 3 Dutch maps, 2 maps of Boisseau, 2 of Leclerc and 8 anonymous maps. The second edition of 1653 makes three Dutch maps disappear: the government of La Capelle (map 18), the Boulonais (map 19) and the diocese of Reims (map 14), in favor of 3 new French maps : the viscounty of Turenne (map 67), the Périgord (map 68) and Portugal (map 70).
For this atlas, as for that of Tavernier, there are variations from one copy to another, a given region can be represented by different maps, depending on the stock available at the time of the sale of the atlas.
The "Théâtre géographique de France" was no longer republished after 1653 ".

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.
