A very decorative map depicting the northern province of Artois on the border with Belgium. The map is fully engraved with forests, rivers, bridges, cities and villages. A fishing boat, sea monster and compass rose grace the sea and a spectacular, garlanded title cartouche with the regional coat of arms completes the map. German text on verso, published between 1641-70.

A nice impression with full contemporary color on a lightly toned sheet with an old repair to a centerfold separation at bottom, well away from map image.
