Atlas of Africa, dedicated to Nicolas Fouquet, with 18 double page of maps, each followed by several pages of text describing the area shown on the map. Including maps of various Empires, Kingdoms, States, Republics and Islands. Maps are copper engraved double page, hand colored in outline, with decorative cartouches, some engraved by J. L'huillier (J. L.) and A Peyrounin. Showing political divisions, major cities, towns, villages, rivers, mountains, drainage, etc. Relief shown pictorially. This is the third volume of the first edition of Sanson's quarto Atlas, a geographical description of the four continents of the world in separate volumes, L'Europe, Asie, Afrique, Amerique, each with engraved title page, accompanied by text and folded maps, bound in full brown calf with rich gold decoration and gold title on spine. Published over the period 1648 to 1657, these are the first atlases published by Sanson, a noted French historian and cartographer, the geographer to the French king. Most of the maps were engraved especially for these works and are not reductions of larger previously published maps.
