This map of the Champagne and Brie region of France was published in Paris by Pierre Mariette. It appears in the first edition of Nicolas Sanson’s “Les Cartes Generales” in 1658. Sanson was France’s premier cartographer and helped to lift French work in this area to another level. His atlas is the first full world atlas to be produced in France. This work had been in development for several years as the dates on the various maps attest. Pastoureau Sanson Va no. 11; Phillips, P.L. (Atlases) 4260 no. 11.
