SANSON (d'ABBEVILLE), NICOLAS (1660-1667).
SANSON (d'ABBEVILLE), NICOLAS (1660-1667). Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde . Paris: Sanson and Pierre Mariette 1658 [-1665]. 2° (440 x 300mm). Title with woodcut arms, table of contents with woodcut headpiece and initial, with text in French, 131 engraved double-page maps, hand-coloured in outline, mounted on guards throughout. (Title, contents and first map repaired, the contents with losses supplied in ink, occasional light spotting, browning or marginal dampstaining). Late 17th-century calf gilt (spine and corners heavily restored). A COMPREHENSIVE EDITION OF SANSON'S IMPORTANT WORK; this copy containing Le Nouveau Mexique et La Floride (1656), Sanson's prototype map of California as an island, 'An important map, the first in a printed atlas to put the greatest emphasis on California and New Mexico' (Tooley, MCS 8, 14). The maps were compiled by Nicolas Sanson and engraved and printed by P. Mariette; each held the copyright to half of the maps which bear their separate imprints. Sanson, considered to be 'the founder of the French school of cartography' (Tooley), first published his atlas in 1654, with 100 maps. The index calls for 113 titles, but as was often the case more maps have been added to this copy at the time of purchase. Cf. NMM 3, 271 (containing 132 maps).
