A beautiful 1782 map of France in antiquity by Jean- Baptiste-Claude Delisle de Sales. It covers the region from the English Channel south as far as the Mediterranean and Florence in modern day Italy. It includes the modern day nations of France, Luin xembourg, Belgium and Germany west of the Rhine, along with most of Switzerland, the western part of Northern Italy and parts of Netherland. The map identifies several important cities and towns and uses ancient names throughout. Rivers, islands, and other topography is noted with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile.
This map was issued as part of Delisle de Sales' Histoire des Hommes. Partie de l'Histoire Moderne. This volume is exceedingly rare as most of Sales' work was burnt under the censorship of heresy.
