Description
Henry Abraham Chatelain, Genealogie des Czars de Moscovie ou Empereurs de la Grande Russie, avec le Blaison de Leurs Armes et de Leurs Etats. Salon Mr Hubner. Fome (Tome?) 4: No 33. Branches of the Tsars, Dukes and Princes with the double headed imperial eagle and various coats of arms. Good condition, foxing along edges, fold line with the two pages reinforced on reverse. Size 43x53.8cm. Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743) was a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He lived consecutively in Paris, St. Martins, London (c. 1710), The Hague (c. 1721) and Amsterdam (c. 1728). He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time, the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography, history, ethnology, heraldry, and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain, as is commonly believed, but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri, his father Zacharie and his brother, also Zacharie.
