La Scandinavie...
Paris, Jaillot, 1709. Original colour with additions. Two sheets conjoined as issued, total 590 x 890mm.

Repairs to binding folds and hole on platemark.

A large and decorative map, with fine baroque title and scale cartouches. It was based on Sanson's map, which Jaillot had redrawn on a larger scale at the request of Sanson's heirs, and originally published in Jaillot's 'Atlas Nouveau' in 1681. This example has been folded to fit into a small-format binding.
