JAILLOT Alexis-Hubert & Nicolas SANSON. Atlas Nouveau contenant toutes les parties du Monde. Paris: Hubert Jaillot, 1692 [but ca. 1690].
2° (620 x 470mm). Fragment of the hand-coloured engraved title for the 1692 edition laid down on paper, hand-coloured engraved index with list of maps in manuscript on cantral panel (large portion torn away at lower right corner), 81 maps, hand-coloured in outline, 46 double-page, 21 engraved tables geographiques. (Occasional light staining, mostly to margins, outer margins of a few maps shaved just into graticule, world map with repaired tear along centre-fold, lower right corner of map of Europe torn with loss and repaired.) Contemporary calf-backed boards (lightly rubbed, later endpapers).
An unusual issue of the famous Jaillot/Sanson Atlas Nouveau. The title would appear to have been inserted from another copy. The maps in this atlas generally accord with Pastoureau's Jaillot IC, which has an engraved title dated 1689, except for a few maps dated '169_', and an additional map of the region of Lyon apparently first issued in 1696 (cf. Jaillot IE). The maps include the World and the Continents: the remaining sheets are of Europe with the addition of the Holy Land and Ottoman Empire.
