About This Item

Paris: Chez Nyon, 1731 (M. DCC. XXXI). Hardcover. In quite good condition.. Demy crown octavo, [16.875cm / 6.75inches], veau pleine gilt et embossé sans poussière, pp. 416 avec Table des Matieres. Entièrement illustré avec 2 cartes pliées. N'hésitez pas à vous renseigner sur les détails et / ou les photographies supplémentaires. ... Claude Delisle, (1644-1720), a enseigné l'histoire et la géographie. Il a eu une excellente réputation dans les cercles intellectuels de Paris et a servi de tuteur aux seigneurs. Parmi eux se trouvait le duc Philippe d'Orléans, qui devint plus tard régent pour la couronne de France et collabora avec Nicolas Sanson, un métaphore bien connu. Son fils Guillaume Delisle, (1675-1726), a été éduqué par son père Claude et à un âge précoce a montré des signes d'être un talent exceptionnel. Il a rapidement contribué à l'atelier familial en dessinant des cartes pour les travaux historiques de son père. Certains ont remis en question la paternité de ces premières cartes, disant que Delisle a seulement copié ce que son père avait fait avant lui. Afin de perfectionner ses compétences, Guillaume Delisle est devenu l'élève de l'astronome Jean-Dominique Cassini. Au début, il a produit des cartes de haute qualité, la première étant sa Carte de la Nouvelle-France et les Pays Voisins en 1696. Demy crown octavo, [16.875cm/6.75inches], full gilt-embossed calf sans dust jacket, pp. 516 avec Table des Matieres. Fully illustrated with 2 folded maps. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... Claude Delisle, (1644–1720),. taught history and geography. He had an excellent reputation in Paris’ intellectual circles and served as a tutor to lords. Among them was the duke Philippe d’Orléans, who later became regent for the crown of France, and collaborated with Nicolas Sanson, a well-known cartographer. His son Guillaume Delisle, (1675-1726), was educated by his father Claude and at an early age showed signs of being an exceptional talent. He soon contributed to the family workshop by drawing maps for his father’s historical works. Some have questioned the authorship of these first maps, saying that Delisle only copied what his father had done before him. In order to perfect his skills, Guillaume Delisle became the student of the astronomer Jean-Dominique Cassini. Early on he produced high-quality maps, the first being his Carte de la Nouvelle-France et des Pays Voisins in 1696.
