## About Hubert Jaillot

Hubert Jaillot, more fully Alexis-Hubert Jaillot, was a French cartographer, geographer, print publisher, and sculptor active in Paris from the seventeenth century until his death in 1712. Authority records place his professional activity from 1665 and document royal appointments as a sculptor and, from 1686, an ordinary geographer to the king. His publishing business became closely associated with engraved geographical maps, including work connected with Guillaume Sanson. Jaillot issued Atlas nouveau in 1681 and also published a general list of French postal routes. Collectors therefore most often encounter his name in connection with early maps, atlases, and other printed geographical material. Attribution requires care because a sheet may identify several participants, such as cartographer, engraver, or publisher, and Jaillot's son later succeeded him at the same Paris address. Authority files also record ivory sculpture among his activities, although the supplied auction evidence does not show how frequently such objects reach the market.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Jaillot's name are expected to be chiefly engraved maps, separate cartographic sheets, atlases, and related early printed geographical publications. Documented publishing projects include Atlas nouveau, maps associated with Guillaume Sanson, and a list of French postal routes. Authority records also describe Jaillot as an ivory sculptor, but the supplied auction material does not establish sculpture as a common market category. For maps and atlases, the exact imprint, date, named collaborators, geographic subject, and whether the object is a single sheet or a bound publication should be recorded.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal of material bearing Jaillot's name begins with precise cataloguing. The named cartographer, engraver, publisher, publication date, geographic subject, and relationship to a known atlas or publishing program can help distinguish genuinely comparable objects. A detached map sheet should not automatically be compared with a complete bound atlas, and the later continuation of the family business makes the printed attribution and date especially relevant. Public auction records can add useful evidence through matched lot descriptions, sale dates, and realized prices, but the collected source pack does not contain enough lot-level detail to support a price trend or forecast. Any valuation should therefore use closely matched public sales rather than the artist-name aggregate alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity and authority records with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available.
