"A New Map of France, Showing the Roads & Post Stages Throout That Kingdom, as Also the Errors of Sanson's Map...", Senex, John

This elegant map of France is divided into provinces with emphasis on the roads and postal routes. The stunning title cartouche notes that the map corrects Sanson's map with data from a recent survey ordered by the late King, Louis XIV. There is a small inset of part of the coastline of Catalonia at bottom right.
