It is fully engraved with forests, rivers, lakes, and tiny villages. The large decorative title cartouche incorporates the especially ornate coat of arms and a key to the symbols used in the map. At bottom right is a fine scale of miles cartouche, topped with calipers and a pair of falcons. French text on verso, published between 1652-58.
