Finely engraved map showing all of the Normandy coast and well inland with detail of hundreds of villages and towns as well as the topography of the land. The political divisions, bailliages, are based on the manuscripts of Sanson. At top is an inset, "Les Isles de Garnezey Ierzay et Aurigny Font Partie de la Normandie mais Elles Sont Sous la Domaine des Anglois," showing the Channel Islands. The inset is surrounded by an elaborate title cartouche featuring Hercules, Minerva, a soldier and weaponry, putti, and cherubs playing musical instruments. Engraved by Tobias Conrad Lotter.
