  Very finely detailed map of the West Indies islands by Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) considered by many to be the founder of the French School of Cartography.He produced over 300 maps during his career and raised France from a small position in the cartographic world, to a premier position in the world of geographical knowledge in the 17th century.While his maps did not have the grandeur of the Dutch maps of the same period, they were frequently more accurate and were esteemed for the clarity and delicacy of their engraving.

  Besides his up-to-date modern maps, Sanson also produced a very interesting group of maps showing the "ancient" world.There was considerable interest in this period during the seventeenth century, so Sanson took the best information he had available on the countries, cities and peoples of the distant past, and placed it on his modern geographical rendering.As elegant and attractive as his modern maps, these are very intertesting examples from one of the great mapmakers of early modern cartography. $650
