Subsequent structures followed, such as a gigantic 1300-foot bridge built in the first quarter of the 17th century to deliver water to the Luxembourg Palace in the capital.

Original copper engraved maps. 15.5 cm wide x 13 cm high. Mounted on paper. Very good condition. From a wonderful collection of Maps from an old english library (South Shields) - with a tiny library stamp to the mounting paper (The stamp is NOT on the Map). Nicolas de Fer (164625 October 1720) was a French cartographer and geographer. De Fer was the youngest of three sons of Antoine de Fer, who was also a cartographer. When he was 12, he became the apprentice of Parisian engraver Louis Spirinx, and made his first map, of the Canal du Midi, at the age of 23. After the death of his father in June 1673, his mother Geneviève initially took over the map making company, which had begun to decline. She passed it and the atelier, called Quai de L'Horloge, on to Nicolas in 1687 because of her old age. De Fer was so successful at improving the firm that, in 1690, he became the official geographer to Louis, Dauphin of France. With support from the Spanish and French Royal Families, de Fer also became official geographer for Philip V and Louis XIV, the kings of Spain and France, respectively. Because of this, his maps became Bourbon propaganda, endorsing French King Louis XIV. His business flourished, producing town plans, atlases, wall maps, and more than 600 sheet maps. He made maps of places in Europe and North America, including New Spain, places fortified by Vauban, the Low Countries, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1698, de Fer published a map of North America, which included a depiction of beavers building dams near Niagara Falls. Seventeen years later, Herman Moll published a map which plagiarized elements of de Fer's work, particularly the beaver scene. It became known as the "Beaver map". De Fer became the official geographer for His Catholic Majesty in 1720. Two of his sons-in-law, Guillaume Danet and Jaques-François Bénard, continued the company after de Fer's death on 25 October of that year until around 1760. (Wikipedia).

Condición: Very Good. Ginville, Vincent de Ilustrador. First Edition. Ginville, Vincent de. First Edition. Paper size 42.5 cm x 28.5 cm. Plate mark 34 x 22.5 cm. Marginal paper clip stain, inked '109' upper right corner, some marginal chipping to the paper, and old penciled price lower right. A few unobtrusive spots inside the plate marks. Copperplate engraving by Vincent de Ginville with later (awfully bright) hand color. This map would frame up nicely. There appears to be several versions of this map. The David Rumsey Collection has an example dated (on the cartouch) 1705 which he notes as being from Nicolas De Fer's Atlas Curieux, published later. The Library of Congress has an example of the map offered here, with the 1701 date, and a separate page with explanations of the map. We don't know where this 1701 example came from (separately issued or another atlas?). The map highlights locations of Indian villages found by La Salle during his explorations of the coastal areas of the United States. We see the Gulf of Mexico, Cap de la Floride and many inland village names. A nice map showing some early history of the southern United States. It includes parts of modern-day Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, as well as the Bahamas and Cuba.

Condición: Fine. "This copperplate engraved map covering a large portion of modern-day Belgium was published in Paris by Nicholas de Fer in 1705. At the time, the region was divided between the Spanish Netherlands and the Dutch Republic and a key battleground in the ongoing War of Spanish Succession. After Charles II of Spain failed to leave an heir after his death in 1700, the possibility of a united Spanish/French global empire led to the formation of a Grand Alliance to protect the delicate balance of power. Dutch and English forces under the Duke of Marlborough won several key victories against the French across the Low Countries in the first years of the conflict. The image shows numerous fortified cities and defensive lines, reflecting the region's long history as a contended territory. Canals, settlements of various sizes, and other locations of interest (ruins, abbeys, etc.) are also identified throughout the image.

It shows the routes of the Canal d'Orleans and the Canal de Briare, each of which connects the Loire River to the Loing River near the city for which it is named and terminates near Montargis. Numerous locks (l' cluse) are noted along the path of each canal, while surrounding chateaus, towns, and estates are labeled. Construction on the Canal D'Orleans began in 1679 by a local timber merchant (note the large forest) and was complete by 1692. The Briare Canal dates much earlier and was complete by 1640 after over three decades of work. It was designed to connect the Loire to the Seine by way of the Loing and remains operational to this day as one of the oldest canals in France.

Strongly reminiscent of modern urban transit maps, this copperplate engraving captures the network of the water lines that supplied public fountains throughout Paris in the early 18 century.

Includes a lovely decorative cartouche featuring an allegorical figure, construction tools and a spout typical of contemporary fountains.
