"Globe Terrestre": issued 1683, Paris by A.M.Mallet, the well traveled military engineer and geographer who worked in 17th century France under King Louis XIV.
This wonderful view of the western hemisphere presented as if a hanging wall map, is from his scarce monumental work "Description de L'Univers". A charmingly detailed and active image, with a wonderful city below the hanging map, warriors pouring forth from the city gates, many sailing ships just off the coast. On the sphere map are also numerous tall ships of discovery.
One of the most desirable maps from the Mallet series. Surely not a common image and very desirable thus. In VG++ to near excellent antiquarian condition, on a c. 5 " W x 7 5/8 " H sheet, image area c. 4 " W x 5 5/8 " H.
