and Zacharie Junior (1690-1754). They worked as a partnership
publishing the Atlas Historique, Ou Nouvelle Introduction A
L’Histoire … under several different Chatelain imprints,
depending on the Chatelain family partnerships at the time of
publication. The atlas was published in seven volumes between

were accompanied by information pertaining to cosmography, geography,
history, chronology, genealogy, topography, heraldry, and costume of

The maps in the Atlas Historique were mainly based on those of the
French cartographer, Guillaume De L’Isle, but were presented by
the Chatelains in an encyclopaedic form. The accompanying text is
in French and often is printed in two columns on the page with maps and
other illustrations interspersed. Each map and table is numbered
consecutively within its volume and all maps bear the privileges of the
States of Holland and West-Friesland.Excellent condition £120 inc
