Maldives: French map of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and the Maldives (1652) by French cartographer, Nicolas Sanson (1600 - 1667)
Auto-translated text View Original Source
Image description

Nicolas Sanson (20 December 1600 - 7 July 1667) was a French cartographer, termed by some the creator of French geography, in which he's been called the 'father of French cartography'. Asia's smallest and least-known nation, the Republic of Maldives, lies scattered from north to south across a 750-kilometre sweep of the Indian Ocean 500 kilometres south-west of Sri Lanka. More than 1000 islands, together with innumerable banks and reefs, are grouped in a chain of nineteen atolls which extends from a point due west of Colombo to just south of the equator.
