Sanson, Guillaume

Younger brother of Nicholas II, who, after Nicholas’ II’s death, succeeded to the family business with his younger brother Adrien (1639–1718). After disagreements with Pierre Mariette II c. 1673, began working with Alexis-Hubert Jaillot. The  two brothers – who collaborated until 1689 – updated and reworked their father’s maps, and produced several new maps and atlases, most notably the “Atlas Nouveau” begun in 1670 and published in 1681.
