CHAMPAIGNE et BRIE Par N. SANSON Geographe du Roy A Paris chez Pierre Mariette Rue St Jacques a l'Esperance. The map is decorated with two nice cartouches. 1650, 17th century, French edition.

Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville was to bring about the rise of French cartography, although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the century. His success was partly owing to the partnership with the publisher Pierre Mariette. In 1657 Pierre Mariette died, however his son, also named Pierre, co-published Les Cartes Générales de toutes les parties du Monde the following year.

It was the first folio French produced world atlas. WE DON'T SELL LASER AND COPIES MAPS, ALL WE SELL IS ORIGINAL AND ANTIQUE. Due to the age an type of paper, some imperfections are to be expected.
