Description: It is an original copper engraved antique map with the plate mark intentions clearly seen around the margins. It is from Pierre Du Val D'Abbeville's La Geographie Universelle published in Paris, 1682. Du Val sometimes referred to as Duval (1618-1683) was the son-in-law of Nicolaes Sanson, who established the French school of cartography, with whom Du Val was an important contributor to the Sanson family business engraving Sanson's maps and later designing his own maps as printed in this atlas. In 1650 he earned the title of Royal Geographer of the King of France which he held until his death in 1683. His miniature maps are highly sought after and generally listed as scarce or rare. The map is being sold in its original uncolored state, rare to find since many of these maps have been colored in modern times. A copy of the original title page with the date is included for authenticity. It is not mounted nor matted, being sold as a single sheet as seen in the main pic. It is a very nicely preserved map for its age.
Size: The map image measures approximately 4 by 5 inches on a 5 3/4 by 6 1/4" page with a wide margin all around for framing.
Condition: The map is in Very Good to Excellent condition for its age with overall tonal ageing and some darkening around the edges as usual. It is printed on a quality cotton page, blank on the reverse with a centerfold as issued and the binding tab still attached to the side margin. Overall, it is very clean as can be seen in the pics. The pics are of the actual map and accurate of its condition.
