Nicolas de Fer

Nicholas de Fer was born in 1646, he made and issued a wide variety and a considerable quantity of maps, nearly all of which are of a most attractive appearance.

The de Fer atlases were mainly issued in the period c.1696 to c.1701. He attained the pinnacle of success in his own day and was appointed Geographer to the King.

His output was large, but his attractive maps are not met with as frequently as might be expected.
