This handsome map of France includes two inset maps showing France's colonial possessions in Canada and the Lesser Antilles. The map of France shows parts of the surrounding countries, extending as far east as the Gulf of Venice. The map is filled with towns, river systems and forested areas. The inset maps are depicted on scrolls. At top right is a map of eastern Canada and the Great Lakes, noting the city of Quebec. At bottom left the inset shows the Lesser Antilles, with French colonies denoted with a fleur-de-lis symbol. The decorative title cartouche features symbols of war and prosperity. Dated 1698, but published in 1703.
