Old map of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.67) is considered by many to be the founder of the French school of cartography. Originally from Abbeville, he was also known as Sanson d'Abbeville. He was trained as a military engineer but became a prolific cartographer who produced over 300 maps. Around 1643, he began publishing maps, working with publisher Pierre Mariette. This 1680 map of the Amazon most likely is a reprint by his son Guillaume (1633-1703), who carried on the family firm after Nicolas's death. The account referred to in the title is that of Christóbal de Acuña, Nuevo Descubrimiento del Gran Rio de las Amazonas (1641). De Acuña was one of the two Spanish Jesuits who in 1639 accompanied the Portuguese explorer Pedro Teixeira on his return voyage from Quito (in present-day Ecuador) to Pará after he had traveled up the Amazon in 1637-38.
Created by Nicolas Sanson in 1680.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
