"L'Attique, la Megaride et Partie de l'Isle d'Eubee, pour le Voyage du Jenne Anacharsis", Barbie du Bocage, Jean Denis

This nicely engraved map covers the ancient region of the Saronic Gulf. It depicts the area north and east of the gulf with Attica, Megaris, and a part of the island of Euboea. The cities of Athens, Megaris, and Thebes are prominently located. The map was published in an imaginary travel journal by Jean Jacques Barthelemy, a historical fiction set in ancient Greece with a title that translates to The Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece.
