This is an attractive regional map of France focused on the Anjou region of western France, the present day department of Maine-et-Loire. Angers is at map center and is located next to the Maine and Loire rivers. There are numerous bridges displayed and there is a key at left identifying various islands in the Loire River. Ortelius based the map on a now lost map by Lezin Guyet that was published in Paris, 1573. It is richly embellished with bold cartouches and a harpy atop the distance scale. Spanish text on verso, published in 1602.

A nice impression on a lightly toned sheet with the horn coat of arms watermark commonly found on Ortelius maps. There is light soiling and the paper is cockled.
