Pierre Duval
13 x 11 cm
A miniature map of the Spanish colony of Peru, extending across parts of modern-day Ecuador and Bolivia. Major towns and settlements are noted, including Quito, Lima, and Potosi.
Published in Pierre Duval's Geographie Universelle, a pocket atlas composed largely of reduced versions of Nicolas Sanson's maps. Duval was Sanson's nephew and pupil, and he continued publishing Sanson maps long after his uncle's death, usually under his own imprint and with updates and modifications.
