A beautifully engraved decorative map of the whole of France based on the work of Jean Jolivet. This richly engraved map is filled with topographical features and numerous cities. The large strapwork cartouche contains text, and a coat of arms is displayed in the stipple engraved sea. This is the first state, prior to the appearance of a crack in the plate bottom left. French text on verso.

A nice impression with gilt highlights on paper with a bunch of grapes watermark, and some small spots and extraneous creases along the centerfold. There are archival repairs to several short tears adjacent to the centerfold and to three chips in the blank margins.
