At the close of the seventeenth century, Sanson's plates were purchased by the influential cartographer Alexis Hubert Jaillot, who joined Sanson's heirs in the production of this atlas, which first appeared in 1681. Pierre (or Pieter) Mortier was born in Amsterdam, but lived and worked in Paris for various cartographical publishers from 1681 to 1685. On his return to Amsterdam, according to Koeman, 'His knowledge of modern French cartography led him to copying the maps by Sanson, published by Jaillot.'The present copy is near complete, wanting only the map of Namur called for on the list of tables and maps. It was issued without the small plans and views of cities sometimes found in this edition. It includes a World map (Mappe-Monde Geo-Hydrographique) showing California as an island, and parts of New Zealand and Australia. 'The two hemispheres are drawn on an enlarged scale, engraved with distinction, and usually printed on heavy quality paper. The limited decoration enhances the overall effect: at the top cherubs with flowing banners are seated astride dolphins and support the arms of France. At the bottom a bold cartouche is flanked by two twin-tailed mermen' (see Shirley 462 fourth plate, state 3).In addition, there are several maps of America: 'Carte particuliere de l'Amerique septentrionale' (Hudson's Bay), 'Carte nouvelle de l'Amerique angloise', 'Carte particuliere de Virginie, Maryland, Pennsilvanie ...', 'Carte general de la Caroline', 'Carte particuliere de la Caroline', 'Carte particuliere de Isthmus ou Darien qui comprend le Golfe du Panama', and 'Le Golfe de Mexique'.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
