1683. Miniature Map published in 1683. Page measure 8 x 5.25 inches.<br/> <br/> Miniature map and view combination depicting portions of the Salomon Islands in the South Pacific, including a portion of New Zealand.<Br> <br> Allain Manesson-Mallet (1630-1706) advanced from his position of musket bearer under Louis XIV to eventually occupy the position of "maitre de mathematiques" to the French King. He was the author and engraver of "Description de L'Univers," a five-volume survey of the world that included maps of the ancient and modern world, star maps, illustrations of flora and fauna, and information on the customs, religion and government of the many nations included in the text. At the time, the text was the largest and most comprehensive work of its kind ever published. Intended to entertain its readers, Mallet's "Description" was a time capsule of the 17th-century world that captured and displayed it in all its splendor.<br/> <br/>
