"Tabula Ducatus Britanniae Gallis le Gouvernemt. General De Bretagne…", Homann, Johann Baptist

Large and very detailed chart roughly centered on the Bretagne region and extending south to include Belle Isle and Nante on the Loire River, and north to Granville. This example locates hundreds of cities and villages. A lovely, colored inset nicely presented as a curtain being drawn open, shows the walled city of Brest. A very handsome sheet with a decorative cartouche adorned with allegorical figures and putti.
