Description
A large and decorative map showing the enlargement of French territory by Louis XIV. It is based on Sanson's map, which Jaillot had redrawn on a larger scale at the request of Sanson's heirs: this example comes from Mortier's issue of Jaillot's 'Atlas Nouveau', with fine baroque title and scale cartouches.
