Three maps published in an imaginary travel journal by Jean Jacques Barthelemy set in ancient Greece, the title translates to The Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece. The first map illustrates the region near Mount Parnassus and the Gulf of Crissa, an ancient district of central Greece. It is based on the cartography of D'Anville (7.5 x 6.5"). The second map covers Boeotia (Beotia) north of the eastern part of the Gulf of Corinth. The region is dominated by the large Lake Copais and Thebes is its major city (10 x 6.2").
