Rare early map of the Champagne region, from the first edition Nicolas Tassin's rare large format atlas of France.
Nicolas Tassin (fl. 1633-55) was appointed 'royal cartographer' at Dijon before setting up as an engraver in Paris where he issued various collections of small maps and plans of France, Switzerland, Germany and Spain. Tassin first published his maps in his own atlas Cartes Generale de Toutes Les Provinces de France in 1634, with an enlarged second edition in 1637 ( France, royaumes et provinces d'Europe). Maps by Tassin in original colors are rare.
