Description: It is an original antique map 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 had an important role in the Sanson family business engraving Sanson's maps and later designing his own maps as printed in this atlas. He was the Royal Geographer of the King of France from 1650 until his death in 1683. His miniature maps are highly sought after and generally listed as scarce or rare. 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 with a fold as issued, as seen in the first pic. It is a very nicely preserved map for its age.

Condition: The map is in Excellent condition for its age printed on a bright clean cotton page, blank on the reverse with a centerfold as issued and the binding tab still attached to the side margin.
