"Petite Tartarie dite Autrement Crimee et Precopense", Duval, Pierre

This miniature map of the region north of the Black Sea depicts major towns and key topographical features. This is the second state with some nomenclature added. Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson's nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson.

A nice impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on watermarked paper with a hint of offsetting. There is light toning and dampstains along the edges of the sheet.
