A beautiful and highly detailed map of Provence in southern France that covers the region from Arles to Monaco. It provides a great deal of information with place names, castles, monasteries, rivers, lakes, woods, mountains and fortifications prominently engraved. Locates Nice, St. Tropez, and much more. The map features an inset map of the Battle of Toulon of 1707 during the War of the Spanish Succession. The extravagant title cartouche shows noblemen emptying their coffers to Marshall General Villars in support of the war.

There is a faint damp stain along the centerfold at top and a tiny tear the just passes the border at bottom center that was repaired with masking tape on verso. The bottom margin has been extended a bit to accommodate framing.
