Text browned/ foxed, engravings on the other hand remarkably fresh. Very rare edition of the Sanson pocket atlas, no copies in PiCarta. According to a strip in the book, Koeman (Atlantes Neerlandici C & M 18) knew only one copy, at the KB Brussel, and this copy also lacks the 24 pages of "geographische beschryving". Worldcat lists three copies in libraries abroad. In our auction 14 (Dec. 2015), we had a title edition of this atlas without date (ca. 1740) and with only the French text, also without copies in PiCarta.
