About This Item
Paris: Pierre Mariette, 1665 Copper engraving on paper 405 x 503 mm, colored in outline, trimmed on or just inside the plate mark, and pasted on strong paper 480 x 610 mm (paper slightly creased at verso, remnants of cenrefold). "Cimmeria, which later became European Scythia or Lesser Scythia." A good copy of a geographical exercise by Guillaume Sanson (1633-1703). He was the son of the celebrated French cartographer Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667), and inherited the family firm along with his brother Adrien Sanson (1639-1718) upon their father's demise. The map, drawing from classical authors, depicts Cimmeria (an ancient name of Crimea) and Scythia (now the southern Ukraine). It was included in the atlas "Cartes generales de toutes les parties du monde" printed in Paris by Pierre Mariette in 1665. Pastoureau, Sanson V B (160).
