A two-sheet map of Asia

JAILLOT, Alexis-Hubert.

L'Asie divisée en ses Principales Regions...
Amsterdam: Pieter Mortier, c.1705. Original colour. Two sheets conjoined, total 580 x 880mm.

A large and detailed map of Asia, decorated with with fine rococo cartouches for the title and scale.
Alexis-Hubert Jaillot redrew Sanson's map of Asia on a larger scale at the request of Sanson's heirs. After a dispute Jaillot passed his work to the Amsterdam publisher Mortier, who re-engraved the maps and issued his own 'Atlas Nouveau' still with the original attributions. A very fine example in contemporary colours.
