SANSON, Nicolas (1600–1667). Description de tout l'univers . Amsterdam: François Halma, 1700. Hand-colored copy, heightened with gold, of Sanson’s pocket atlas; with Bion's useful work on globes. This atlas is essentially François Halma's plagiarized pocket version of the Sanson atlas, with the map divided into Continent groups. Halma (1653-1722) also reprinted Mercator's Ptolemy and Bonfrere's Geography for the growing French market. Six parts in one, including Bion's L’Usage des globes and Luyts’ Tables; quarto (223 × 170mm). Double-page title-page printed in red and black with engraved vignette, double-page engraved frontispiece, 74 folding double-page maps, 15 plates and diagrams in Bion text including double-page folding celestial map, all plates hand-colored and heightened with gold (some small stains and occasional spotting, short marginal tear in 3M2). Contemporary speckled calf (rebound preserving upper and lower covers); modern quarter sheep over brown cloth box.
