Handsome map of the Midi-Pyrenee region with Toulouse at center, Pau in the west, and Carcassonne in the east. The map is densely engraved with information, with particular emphasis on the fortified cities, which are colored in red. The large title cartouche features putti and a river god and goddess.

Superb impression and original color on a bright, sturdy sheet with a couple of minor ink smudges in the cartouche.
