DESCRIPTION

This is a beautiful and striking example of Homann's map of the northernmost region of France and surrounding areas bordering Belgium.  The map is beautifully hand-colored in outline and wash as published.  The covered region extends from Cambria in the southeast up to Graveline in the north along the English Channel and Abevile in the southwest.  The map shows relief, forests, towns, fortifications, churches, and other information pictorially, along with a decorative cartouche in the upper right and scale bars in the upper left.
