Description

A very rare map is taken from Duval‘s “Le monde christien ou sont les cartes des archeveschez et des eveschez de l‘univers”, the ecclesiastical atlas published in Paris in 1662.

 

Pierre Duval was a French geographer, cartographer and publisher who worked in Abbeville and in Paris. He was nephew of Nicolas Sanson, the chief pioneer of cartography in France, from whom he learnt the mapmaker‘s art and skills. Duval worked with his uncle at the Royal Court and was appointed Geographe Ordinaire du Roy by Louis XIV in 1650. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps.

 

Etching with original outline colour, very good condition.
