See also RCIN 1047812 for the 1740 copy of the Journal des marches campemens, batailles, sieges et mouvemens des armées du Roy en Flandres; et de celles des Alliez, depuis l'année 1690. jusqu'en 1694 inclusivement [...] par le Sr. Vaultier.
An earlier edition of this map is in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, entitled LES CAMPEMENS / DES ARMÉEs DU ROY / DANS LES PAYS-BAS / DÉPUIS L’ANNÉE 1690. JUSQUES-EN 1694. / dediés à sa MAJESTÉ. / Par le S.r VAULTIER. Com.re Ord.re de l’Artillerie. / et Dressés sur ses memoires. / Par le S.r P. MOULLART SANSON. Geog. Ordinaire du Roy / A PARIS. / Chez l’Auteur aux Galleries du Louvre. / Avec Privil. du Roy. 1694. This includes details of the campaigns for 1690-93 (BNF GE D-15472).
This map was also included in Atlas minor ad usum serenissimi burgundiae ducis. Atlas françois à lusage de monseigneur le duc de Bourgogne contenant les cartes et tables geographique des empires, monarchies, royaumes, et etats du monde which was issued anonymously by Pieter Mortier; several of the maps in this atlas, dating 1693-6, bear the imprint of A.H. Jaillot. See Koeman vol. 3, p.8; Pastoureau (Jaillot ID and IE); Philips 514.
This map was issued in Nicolas Sanson's Atlas nouveau contenant toutes les parties du monde published by Pierre Mortier in 1696, vol. 2 and also in another Mortier re-issue of Jaillot's maps dated about 1700. See records 27597, 27599, and 30709 in the Newberry Library Cartographic Catalog database and also RCIN 724044.
Another edition was published in Paris by Robert in 1695 with the words ‘com.re et ord.re de l’Artillerie, et.’ added after Vaultier's name in the dedication, and with the authority statement: ‘dressé par ses mémoires par le S P. Moullart Sanson géographe ordinaire du Roy’.
In 1695 Vaultier wrote the Journal des marches campemens, batailles, sieges et mouvemens des armées du Roy en Flandres; et de celles des Alliez, depuis l'année 1690. jusqu'en 1694 inclusivement… (Veuve Coignard, Paris; Worldcat record; see RCIN 1047812; OCLC number 165763150) and it is possible that this map was published in that volume. A previous edition of this book appears to have been published in 1694 in Paris by Coignard & Couterot (Worldcat record; OCLC number: 313037243) in which Vaultier describes himself as ‘commissaire ordinaire de l’artillerie. It was reprinted in 1740 (Third Edition; Worldcat record) and then about 1750 by Covens and Mortier (Worldcat record).
The map was also published in Observations sur l’art de faire la guerre, suivant les maximes des plus grands generaux, Amsterdam: Francois Honore & fils, 1744.
