Partie Meridionale Des Pays Bas, Comprenant les Provinces de Brabant, Gueldre, Limbourg, Luxembourg, Haynaut, Namur, Flandre, Cambresis et Artois.

A beautiful example of Jean Janvier's decorative map of the southern portions of the Pays Bas. Covers modern day Belgium and Luxembourg, with adjacent parts of France, Holland and Germany. Divided into counties and duchies with color coding according to region. Offers excellent detail throughout showing mountains, rivers, forests, national boundaries, regional boundaries, forts, and cities. A large decorative title cartouche appears in the upper left quadrant. Drawn by Jean Janvier in 1771 for issue as plate no. 6 in Jean Lattre's 1776 edition of the Atlas Moderne.
