"Carte generale d'Espagne et de tous les royaumes…", Sanson/Mariette

This decorative map of the Iberian peninsula brings together three important names that were involved in the Parisian map publishing trade in the seventeenth century. It was drawn by Nicolas Sanson, Geographe Ordinaire du Roi, engraved by Melchior Tavernier, and published in conjunction with Pierre Mariette (father and son), who published many of Sanson's works after 1645. The map includes the Balearic Islands and is decorative with a fine cartouche featuring the heralds of the various regions.
