A lovely copper engraved map of the Lorraine region of France places Nancy at center and is surrounded by hundreds of tiny villages. North is oriented to the right, towards Lutzenburgia where the Saar and Moselle Rivers converge. The title is in a panel at the top, and a beautiful coat of arms is at the bottom right. Dutch text on verso.
