”Troianum Regnum, Novem Dinasteias Complectens; Priami dum Regna Manebant; Adjecta sunt ea quae etiam Innotuere Posterioribus Temporibus Nomina.”&nbsp; This hand-coloured map originates from Nicolas Sanson and Guillaume Sanson’s work ”Cartes generales de toutes les parties du monde, ou les empires, monarchies, republiques, estats, peuples, &amp;c. ... Paris, P.” The work was published by Pierre Mariette in Paris, 1666. Guillaume Sanson (1675–1751) was a French cartographer and the son of the renowned mapmaker Nicolas Sanson. He took over his father's business and continued to produce detailed maps, often focusing on Europe, as well as the Americas and other parts of the world. Guillaume is known for his work on the "Atlas Nouveau" and was highly regarded for his cartographic precision during the 18th century. His maps contributed significantly to the development of geographical knowledge in the period. Pierre Mariette (1602-1658) was a bookseller, printseller, printer, and publisher, located in the Rue Saint-Jacques in Paris. On February 12, 1644, Pierre Mariette acquired most of Melchior Tavernier's fund. In 1646, he had a series of maps by Blaeu copied and asked Abraham Peyrounin to engrave them. In the meantime, he published the works of Nicolas Sanson. In 1650, he published the atlas Théâtre Géographique de France. A second edition followed in 1653. He later contributed to Sanson's atlas, the Cartes générales de toutes les parties du monde. Many maps of Mariette's Théatre appeared in later editions of Sanson's Cartes générales.

"Russian Empire. N.R. Hewitt Sc., 10 Broad Str., Bloomsby., London. Drawn &amp; engraved for John Thomson &amp; Co.'s New general atlas, 12 August 1814"&nbsp; Finely engraved large map with original outline hand color originates from John Thomson’s ”New general atlas”, published in London, 1814. . The map depicts the region from the Baltic Sea, Prussia, and Sweden to the Aleutian Islands and from the Arctic Ocean to the Yellow River. Highly detailed, myriad cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, Kiev, and Kharkov. Rivers and mountain ranges are also identified, as are islands and numerous locations along the coastlines. It is important to note that the long-disputed sea between Korea and Japan is identified as the ”Sea of Japan”.&nbsp; Nathaniel Rogers Hewitt (1783- 1841) was a British engraver active in London during the first half of the 19th century. Hewitt was born in London on the 19th of July 1783. His map engraving work appears as early as 1804, although it is most commonly associated with the 1812 - 1817 atlas maps of publisher John Thomson. Hewitt also worked with James Wyld, Samuel William Fores, and other map publishers of the period. In 1824, Hewitt announced plans to independently publish a series of Parish maps by subscription, and a beautifully engraved map of St. Giles in the Fields followed. The map series must not have been able to attract many followers, as Hewitt declared bankruptcy shortly after in 1826.
