Description

Striking large and highly detailed map of Morea and surrounding islands, published in Paris, circa 1700.

This beautifully hand colored map of Morea includes a large decorative cartouche with 12 townplans incorporated into the border. The map includes 2 separate sheets, each with an accompanying set of 8 town plans and birdseye views of Athenes, Forteresse De Cerigo, S. Maura, Lepanthe, F D'Asso, Forteresse De Volo, Forteresse De Zante, Negropont, Navarino, Plan de Zarnata, Modon, Passua, Coron, Malvasia, Chielafa, and Napoli De Romanie (Naples). These large format Jaillot maps with the extra view sheets are quite rare on the market.

A fine decorative example with wide clean margins.

From Jaillot's monumental atlas.

Alexis-Hubert Jaillot Biography

Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (ca. 1632-1712) was one of the most important French cartographers of the seventeenth century. Jaillot traveled to Paris with his brother, Simon, in 1657, hoping to take advantage of Louis XIV's call to the artists and scientists of France to settle and work in Paris. Originally a sculptor, he married the daughter of Nicholas Berey, Jeanne Berey, in 1664, and went into partnership with Nicholas Sanson's sons. Beginning in 1669, he re-engraved and often enlarged many of Sanson's maps, filling in the gap left by the destruction of the Blaeu's printing establishment in 1672.

Ionian Isles and Greece

Ionian Isles and Greece, designed by John Tallis and published in London in 1851, encapsulates the rich topography and cultural landscape of Greece and the Ionian Isles during the mid-19th century. Set against the larger geopolitical background, Greece is defined to the north by its border with Turkey, a vestige of the lingering Ottoman dominion. This map is further accentuated by evocative vignettes, including an ancient war chariot, the Temple of Jupiter on Mt. Olympus, Greek Corsairs navigating near Corfu, a contemporary Greek figure, and a scene of wrestlers.
