In reasonable to good condition. Some spots are lightly stained. A larger ink stain at the upper centre. Repairs at both extremities of the centre fold up into the depiction. Left and right margins are reinforced. Map’s edge restored at the bottom left in facsimile. Hand coloured (partly antique). Very attractive map to see. Verso: blank. Very finely engraved map by Joshua van den Ende. Title cartouche and decorative edges etched by Hessel Gerritsz. Almost all city views made by Braun and Hogenberg. This map has had influence on all later published decorated edge maps of France. The three decorated edges contain portraits of Henry IV, Mary de Medici and the dauphin Louis XIII. Six people in traditional costume and ten city views of Poitiers, Rouen, Orleans, Parijs, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Tours, Bourges and Angiers.
