Alexis Hubert Jaillot 1632-1712 was a French sculptor who became enamoured of his father in law’s study of cartography. He succeeded the Sanson family as the most influential producer of french maps. Appointed Géogrphe du Roi to Louis XIV in 1678, of his 15 children two others became Royal Geographers.
despite it’s condition this is a valuable starter map for a budding collector.
