"Duche et Gouvernement General de Bretagne Divise en Haut et Bas, et Subdivise en ses Neuf Eveches ou Receptes", Wit, Frederick de

This splendid map of Brittany is filled with information including the fortified cities of Nantes, Rennes, Brest, and Quimper. The roads are clearly marked, as are the forests, swamps, marshes, and rivers. A legend at top left identifies symbols used on the map. The decorative title cartouche features Neptune, Mercury, a mermaid and the arms of the region. This is the third state with the addition of Covens & Mortier's imprint below the title.
