This beautifully engraved chart of the vicinity of Lake Geneva in Switzerland is based the work of Swiss theologian Jacques Goulart. It is filled with minute detail including estates, vineyards, parks, fortified cities, tiny villages, and notations concerning the Duke of Savoy's numerous attempts to gain control over Geneva. The map is richly embellished with a compass rose, sailboats, and fishermen in the lake, and three decorative cartouches. The title cartouche is topped with the coat of arms of Geneva supported by cherubs in military garb. Dutch text on verso, published between 1642-64.
