Les Isles Britanniques Qui Contiennent Les Royaumes ...
|
On two sheets joined, this magnificent map is the first dated Amsterdam edition, pirated by Pierre Mortier, after Alexis Hubert Jaillot's enlarged version of Nicolas Sanson's work. Two large baroque cartouches dominate the left of the design. Light colour offset does not detract from the decorative impact of this boldly engraved map.
