"Ager Parisiensis Vulgo l'Isle de France...", Blaeu, Willem

This map focuses on the region surrounding Paris, with the Seine River meandering along the bottom of the map. The map extends to Senlis in the north, Pontoise in the west, and Meaux in the east. This map was based on a manuscript map attributed to Francois de la Guillotiere and in the possession of Pierre Pithou; both of whom are mentioned in the title cartouche. Adorned with a lovely title cartouche with putti flanking the royal French arms. German text on verso.
