This delicately engraved map of the famous Champagne region is centered approximately on Chalons-en-Champagne. The map extends north to Guise and Sedan and south to Auxerre and Langres. It depicts roads, hundreds of villages and towns, and nice topographical detail. Embellished with a fine rococo-style cartouche entwined with grapevines.
