5 Nicolas Sanson - Provinces Unies et Incorporées à la Couronne de Boheme

This historical map, created in 1654, represents the territories that were united and incorporated into the Crown of Bohemia. It includes the Duchy of Silesia, the Margraviate of Moravia, and Lusatia. The map features a highly decorative baroque cartouche, framing the title with elegant scrollwork, floral motifs, and a stylized face at the top. The map itself details the regions with precise borders, city names, and natural features, reflecting Sanson's focus on geographic accuracy.
Nicolas Sanson was a leading 17th-century French cartographer and the official geographer to King Louis XIII. His work emphasized scientific accuracy over artistic decoration, making his maps essential tools for European rulers and scholars. He played a key role in establishing France as a center of cartography and influenced generations of mapmakers.
