A very decorative map of the Lorraine region in France. It has wonderful detail of the towns, cities and topography and includes the cities of Nancy, Metz, Luxembourg, Strasbourg. The map is adorned with a large title cartouche featuring a river god and scenes of people bringing cheese out of a cave, hunting and making wine. The scale cartouche is topped with a cherub busily making maps.
