Gouvernement de Provence
De Fer's reduced map of Provence based on Sanson's map of the same region.
De Fer (1646-1720) was the son of a prominent engraver and produced his first map in 1669. He joined his father's business in 1673 and ultimately took over in 1687. He was a prolific map maker who produced over six hundred separate maps in multiple forms; as separate issues, bound within history and travel books, and as atlases. In the late 17th century he was made Geographer to the Dauphin.
This map is based on Sanson's map of Provence and covers the area from the mouth of the Rhone in the west to Nice in the east. [FR3616]
