The map was created by Nicolas Sanson and Alexis-Hubert Jaillot in 1691. Nicolas Sanson was a renowned French cartographer and geographer who served as the Geographer Ordinary to the King of France. Alexis-Hubert Jaillot was a French cartographer who worked with Sanson and later took over his business.

The map titled "Mappe-monde Geo-Hydrographique ou Description Generale du Globe Terrestre et Aquatique en Deux-Plans-Hemipsheres ou son Exactement Remarquees en General Toutes les Parties de la Terre et de L'Eau, suivant les Relations les plus Nouvelles, par le S. Sanson Geographe Ordinaire du Roy," translates to "Geo-Hydrographic World Map or General Description of the Earth and Water Globe in Two Hemispheres, Wherein All Parts of the Earth and Water are Precisely Marked in General, According to the Latest Accounts, by Mr. Sanson, Geographer Ordinary to the King."

This map was created during a time when cartography was rapidly evolving, and European explorers were discovering new lands and expanding their knowledge of the world. The map likely reflects the geographical information available at that time, including newly explored territories and updated navigational routes.

Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) and Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (1632-1712) were both prominent French cartographers who made significant contributions to the field of mapmaking.

Nicolas Sanson is considered one of the founders of the French school of cartography. He served as the Geographer Ordinary to the French King Louis XIII and later to Louis XIV. Sanson's maps were known for their accuracy and clarity, and he introduced several innovations in map design, including the use of vignettes and cartouches. He produced numerous maps of various regions, including France, Europe, and the world. His maps were highly regarded and widely influential, and many subsequent cartographers relied on his work.

Alexis-Hubert Jaillot was a French geographer and cartographer who worked closely with Nicolas Sanson. After Sanson's death in 1667, Jaillot took over his business and continued producing and publishing maps based on Sanson's work. Jaillot was known for his large-format maps, often depicting regions or continents. He collaborated with other mapmakers and used Sanson's cartographic plates to create updated and expanded maps. Jaillot's maps were known for their artistic beauty and attention to detail.

Together, Sanson and Jaillot played a significant role in advancing the field of cartography in France during the 17th century. Their maps are highly regarded for their accuracy, aesthetic appeal, and contribution to the geographical knowledge of their time.
