Description
Map of the eastern part of China, with Korea shown as an island, from the first edition of the atlas L'Asie en plusieurs cartes nouvelles, et exactes & en divers traittés de Géographie, et d'Histoire.
Nicolas Sanson was to bring about the rise of French cartography, although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the century. His success was partly owing to the partnership with the publisher Pierre Mariette. In 1644 the latter had purchased the business of Melchior Tavernier, and helped Sanson with financial support in producing the maps.
