Antique map titled 'Basse Partie de la Basse Saxe ou sont les Duchés de Sleswick, Holsace, Meckelenbourg et Lauvenbourg (..)'. Original old map of northern Germany, including Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Published by N. Sanson, 1657.
Nicholas Sanson (1600-1667) is considered the father of French cartography in its golden age from the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-eighteenth. Over the course of his career he produced over 300 maps; they are known for their clean style and extensive research. Sanson was largely responsible for beginning the shift of cartographic production and excellence from Amsterdam to Paris in the later-seventeenth century.
