Although printed in the format of a horizontal folio, the map is made to be read vertically. The cartouche at the top right corner of the map is surrounded by flags, weapons, mythological figures, and a coat of arms, and various other regal status symbols. Atlas Nouveau was first published by Jaillot in Paris in 1681 with 46 maps. Jaillot re-engraved, "edited," Nicolas Sanson's maps and published them as large, highly decorative atlases. This copy is colored in outline with relief shown pictorially.
