"Planisphere Terrestre Suivant les nouvelle Observations des Astronomes Dressee et presente Roy Tres Chretien par Mr. Cassini le Fils" is the title of a historical map created by Pieter van der Aa in 1713. This map is a representation of the Earth as seen from space and is based on the latest astronomical observations of the time. It was dedicated to the French King Louis XIV, who was often referred to as "Roy Tres Chretien" (Most Christian King).

Mr. Cassini le Fils refers to Jean-Dominique Cassini, who was a prominent French-Italian astronomer. He was known for his work on the solar system, particularly his observations of the planets and their satellites. Cassini made significant contributions to astronomy during his time, and his observations helped improve the accuracy of maps and charts, including those of the Earth.

Pieter van der Aa (1659-1733) was a Dutch publisher, cartographer, and bookseller who was active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He is known for his significant contributions to the fields of cartography and geography. His maps were often based on the latest scientific data available at the time, making them valuable resources for scholars and navigators.

This particular map, "Planisphere Terrestre," would have been a significant tool for astronomers and geographers in the early 18th century, helping them understand the Earth's position in relation to the stars and other celestial bodies. It reflects the state of astronomical knowledge and mapping at that time and is an important historical document in the history of cartography and astronomy.

Pieter van der Aa continued his publishing and cartographic activities throughout his life. He passed away on August 11, 1733, in Leiden.

Pieter van der Aa's works continue to be of interest to historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of cartography and historical geography. His maps and atlases are treasured for their cultural and historical value, providing insights into the state of geographical knowledge during his era.
