Foundational National Atlas of France, originally conceived by Maurice Bouguereau and expanded by Jean Le Clerc.Complete with Jodocus Hondius s 1602 double-hemisphere world map and the 1594 Guillaume Postel / Maurice Boguereau Map of FrancePublished in Paris in 1632 by Fr mine Le Clerc, widow of Jean Le Clerc, this impressive atlas is a cornerstone of early French cartography. The Theatre Geographique du Royaume de France originated from Maurice Bouguereau's 1594 Le Theatre Francois, recognized as the first national atlas of France. Following Bouguereau's pioneering work, the copperplates were acquired by Jean Le Clerc, who reissued the atlas starting in 1619 and vastly expanded its contents from the original 16 plates to roughly fifty maps. The geographical and historical text descriptions accompanying the maps were authored by the Parisian lawyer Gabriel Michel de la Rochemaillet.Le Clerc's expansion of the Theatre Geographique involved commissioning a cadre of prominent engravers, including Damien de Templeux, Jean Jubrien, Hughes Picart, and Fran ois de la Hoeye, to capture the growing geographical awareness of the French provinces. The plates represent an important transitional period in French mapmaking, bridging the initial efforts of Bouguereau and the later, more standardized production of the Sanson family. Many of the original Bouguereau maps, such as the general map of Gallia, were retained, while detailed new provincial surveys were added, each bearing the distinct artistic signatures of early 17th-century Parisian copperplate engraving.Hondius's World MapA centerpiece of the volume is Jodocus Hondius's double-hemisphere world map, Orbis Terrae Novissima Descriptio. Dated 1633 in the cartouche, this map was specifically engraved by Hondius for Le Clerc and features a novel and distinctive decorative border. The cartography is based on the two hemispheres issued by Gerard Mercator's son in 1587. Notably, Hondius includes the "islands of Queen Elizabeth" off the tip of South America, reflecting the discoveries of Sir Francis Drake, and notes that Nova Albion on the far west coast of North America was so named by the English in 1580.Provincial Maps and ContentsThe provincial maps showcase a rich variety of decorative cartouches, maritime embellishments, and detailed topographical features. Maps such as the Description du Pais de Normandie feature galleons navigating the English Channel, while the Burgundiae Comitatus offers a dense, pictorially engraved view of the Jura mountains and Lake Geneva. The typography and symbols employed throughout the atlas demonstrate the evolution of French cartog.…
