A charming map with original full wash colors delineating various political divisions. The Low Countries and part of Germany are illustrated in considerable detail. The map was trimmed and mounted on stiffer paper for inclusion in the Von Euler's Atlas. Von Euler was a Swiss mathematician who was closely associated with the Delisles. An unobtrusive and unidentified hand printed library stamp at upper left.
