It was published in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Daniel de la Feuille in 1702. Daniel was born of Huguenot stock in Sedan (L'Ardennes) France. As a young man, he apprenticed as a watchmaker. In 1663 La Feuille married Charlette Marlet, the daughter of a local carpenter. Twenty years later, in 1683, facing religious persecution of the Huguenots in France, the family fled to Amsterdam. By 1686, Daniel had become a burgher (citizen) of the city and established himself as an engraver, publisher, and art dealer. Not long after, in 1691, he was admitted into the Booksellers Guild. His cartographic work includes numerous individual maps and atlases, many of which continued to be published and republished well after his death in 1709. He was succeeded by his sons Jacob and Paul.
