A superb map of the historic Burgundy region in France. Centered roughly on the Saone River, the map extends from Crevant to Montbeliard in the north, and from Varennes-sur-Allier to Geneva at bottom. The map is finely engraved with minute detail and embellished with a bold title cartouche flanked by Mars and one of his consorts. The arms of the Duchy and County of Burgundy top the cartouche, while a cherub peaks out from above the distance scale cartouche. Blank verso, published between 1644-75.

References: Van der Krogt (Vol. I) #4860:1.
