Freeman's, 1/21/2005, Lot 203. First edition. Pocket atlas published by François Halma, the maps reduced from Sanson's 1658 folio atlas, with Luyt's Tables Geographiques & Bion's l'Usage des Globes, featuring striking folding plates diagramming the workings of the celestial systems. Without the world map, the map of southern Germany, and the map of Madagascar. Born in Abbeville, a town in the Picardy region of France, in 1600, Sanson was the most noted French cartographer in modern history. Mapmaker to Louis XIV, King of France, Sanson endowed his maps with the most recent geographical information as well as the finest and sharpest engraving of the period. His "Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde" was the most important single product of French commercial cartography of the seventeenth century. Sanson sparked a renaissance in geographical endeavor in his native country, which had not been a major player on the international cartographic stage since the great Oronce Finé in the sixteenth century. With this atlas, Sanson laid the foundations of French domination in map production, initiating the so-called "French school of cartography," a school that was unprecedented in its attention to precision and scientific detail and discarded much of the decorative embellishments of previous maps as irrelevant. From Sanson's time in the second half of the seventeenth century until the latter part of the eighteenth century, French geographical conceptions were more influential than those put forward by any other nation. With this landmark atlas, Sanson all but single-handedly caused the center of cartographic innovation to shift from Holland to France. Although this atlas is always listed under Nicolas Sanson, it is essentially Francois Halma's plagiarized pocket version of the Sanson atlas, reduced from Sanson's 1658 folio atlas, with the map divided into Continent groups. "François Halma was an editor, printer and publisher of theological, historical and geographical works. His output was large. He first established his business in Utrecht in 1674, then moved to Amsterdam and finally settled in Leeuwarden where he died in 1722. Among his works was an edition of Mercator's Ptolemy (1695) and a reduced-size edition of Sanson's large atlas under the new title 'Description De Tout L'Univers' [as here]" (Shirley, Printed Maps of the British Isles 1650-1750, p. 66).

2 sheets joined (sheet size 21 6/8 x 30 inches; 18 x 27 7/8 inches to the neat line), full margins showing the plate mark. A fine engraved detailed map of Europe, the title within a nicely ornamented Louis-XV-style cartouche upper right, scale within a small sober cartouche, the left part of the map is a kind of manual which gives some information on the scientific information the map provides in political geography, natural geography and astronomic geography; with original hand color in outline (spot on the upper middle margin, vertical fold marks, a little toned at the edges). A fine and very interesting political, natural and astronomical map of Europe. Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688-1766), also known as Le Sieur or Monsieur Robert, and his son, Didier Robert de Vaugondy (c.1723-1786), were leading mapmakers in France during the 18th century. In 1757, they published The 'Atlas Universel' in which they integrated older sources with more modern maps. This dialogue between old and new is also suitable for this map, as it is originally made by Nicholas Sanson (1600-1667), who was the founder of the French school of cartography.…

Paris, Par les Imprimeurs & Libraires ordinaires du Roy, 1667. In-4 (173 x 230 mm), broché, couverture de papier d'attente paille (rel. postérieure), 35 p. et [-36], 45, (1) p. de privilège, 2 pages de titre comprises dans la pagination. Édition originale in-4° de librairie en premier tirage, rare, du traité historique signé à Bréda le 31 juillet 1667. Publiée par les "imprimeurs & libraires ordinaires du Roy", avec privilège et vignettes de titre aux armes royales. Les deux parties possèdent une page de titre particulière, sous pagination continue. Le traité de Bréda, signé par l'Angleterre, la République des Provinces-Unies, la France et le Danemark, mettait un terme à la Deuxième Guerre anglo-néerlandaise (1665-1667), alors que les armées de Louis XIV commençaient à envahir les Pays-Bas espagnols. Les Néerlandais abandonnèrent aux Anglais les territoires de la Nouvelle Amsterdam (New York) contre les fabriques de sucre du Suriname et l'île de Run dans les Moluques, monopole de la noix muscade (!). Par ailleurs, l'Angleterre rendait l'Acadie à la France en échange d'Antigua, de Montserrat et de la partie anglaise de Saint-Christophe. (Dionne, 'Inventaire chronologique (.) Québec et Nouvelle France', II, n°177 et 223. Sabin, n°96526). Auréoles claires, quelques piqûres éparses. Bon exemplaire. …

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Copperplate map (Image: 15 1/2 x 21 1/2 in.; 39.4 x 54.6 cm), engraved by Jean Somer, partially handcolored in outline, decorative cartouche in lower right corner. BINDING/CONDITION: Matted and framed, not examined out of frame. A VERY BRIGHT AND CRISP IMPRESSION OF THE FIRST LARGE-SCALE MAP TO PRESENT ALL FIVE GREAT LAKES IN A COMPARATIVELY ACCURATE CORRELATION. "This delineation would considerably influence the cartography of the region for over 100 years; it was not to be superseded until Guillaume de L'Isle's Carte du Canada, in 1703" (Burden). Sanson's transformative map shows the entire Great Lakes region and the St. Lawrence River basin in detail. It names "L. Erie, ou du Chat" as a recognizable and distinct lake for the first time; the name derives from the native name "Derie" which referred to the "panther-like qualities of the feared local native Indians" (Burden). The northern waters remain the same with the exception of Hudson Bay, which is depicted in more detail. Sanson drew on source information from the Jesuit missionaries who ventured westward after Champlain's death and published annual accounts, or "Relations," of their findings between 1632 and 1673. This included Jean Nicollet's discovery of Lake Michigan, "Lac des Puans," in 1634 and Father Paul Ragueneau's "Relation" of 1648 which describes his visit to Niagara Falls, three decades before Father Louis Hennepin's formal description of the cataracts. Sanson also made several improvements in his east coast delineation: Long Island is introduced with New Amsterdam in its correct position. The Delaware River is more accurately shown, with "N[ouvelle] Suède (the former Swedish colony of Fort Christina) at its mouth, the site of present-day Willmington. The borders of Virginia are defined but none of the English settlements are given.
