A two-sheet map of Asia

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.
