About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Ancien Royaume de Northumberland, aujourdhuy Provinces de Nort (..)'.

Engraved map of northern England, focusing on Northumberland.

Artists and Engravers: 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. His success can be chalked up to his geographic and research skills, but also to his partnership with Pierre Mariette.
