This hand-coloured map originates from Nicolas Sanson and Guillaume Sanson’s work ”Cartes generales de toutes les parties du monde, ou les empires, monarchies, republiques, estats, peuples, &c. ... Paris, P.” The work was published by Pierre Mariette in Paris, 1666.
Guillaume Sanson (1675–1751) was a French cartographer and the son of the renowned mapmaker Nicolas Sanson. He took over his father's business and continued to produce detailed maps, often focusing on Europe, as well as the Americas and other parts of the world. Guillaume is known for his work on the "Atlas Nouveau" and was highly regarded for his cartographic precision during the 18th century. His maps contributed significantly to the development of geographical knowledge in the period.
Pierre Mariette (1602-1658) was a bookseller, printseller, printer, and publisher, located in the Rue Saint-Jacques in Paris. On February 12, 1644, Pierre Mariette acquired most of Melchior Tavernier's fund. In 1646, he had a series of maps by Blaeu copied and asked Abraham Peyrounin to engrave them. In the meantime, he published the works of Nicolas Sanson. In 1650, he published the atlas Théâtre Géographique de France. A second edition followed in 1653. He later contributed to Sanson's atlas, the Cartes générales de toutes les parties du monde. Many maps of Mariette's Théatre appeared in later editions of Sanson's Cartes générales.
