Item Details
Description
Brilliant hand colored map of Nova Scotia, depicting Port Royal, the oldest European settlement in Canada. Professionally framed and matted. In frame 13 1/4"x12 1/4"x1/2". Weight 1 pd 9 oz. Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688-1766) was the head of a leading family of geographers in eighteenth century France. Gilles got his start when he jointly inherited the shop of Pierre-Moullart Sanson, grandson of the famous geographer Nicholas Sanson. The inheritance included the business, its stock of plates, and a roller press. In 1760 Gilles became geographer to King Louis XV. His son, Didier Robert de Vaugondy (ca. 1723-1786), was also a geographer and the two worked together. They were known for their exactitude and depth of research. In 1757, they produced the Atlas Universel, considered an authority for many years. PROVENANCE: The Estate of Edwin Joseph Hamblet, Portland, Maine
