"Provincia", Ortelius/Coignet

Lovely, miniature map of Provence with the cities of Avignon, Marseille, Arles and Nice located. The regions of Langedoc and the Vaucluse are noted as well. The map is decorated with a strapwork title cartouche at lower left, and a scale of miles at the top. The map was engraved by the brothers Ambrose and Ferdinand Arsenius who had been assistants to Frans Hogenburg and co-engravers of Ortelius' folio Theatrum. This series of maps was accompanied by text by Michel Coignet and was published by Jan B. Vrients. Italian text on verso.
