JAILLOT, Alexis Hubert (1632-1712) and Nicholas SANSON D'ABBEVILLE (1600-1667). [ L'Atlas Nouveau contenant toutes les parties du monde ]. Paris: H. Jaillot [1684-1689, but maps dated 1674-5]. 2° (465 x 325mm). 31 double-page engraved maps hand-coloured in outline, engraved by L. Cordier, bifolium with manuscript index bound in before maps. (Light damp-staining partially affecting the majority of maps, some worming affecting images to several maps, a few minor repairs.) Contemporary French mottled calf gilt (some scuffing to covers and extremities). A composite collection of Sanson maps of the Low Countries issued by Jaillot in his Atlas Nouveau . The majority of the maps in this volume appear to have been issued for the second edition, with two from the third edition. Most are dated 1674, which in some cases mean that they are earlier states than those in the second or third editions. Jaillot had actually begun working on the project in 1670, waiting for maps from Sanson over 10 years before publishing the first edition of the Atlas Nouveau . Cf. Pastoureau, Jaillot I B & C.
