Map of Hungary, including modern day Yugoslavia, Rumania and Bulgaria. List of Hungarian kings at lower centre, title cartouche at top right. In the early eighteenth century, French cartography overtook the Dutch in terms of accuracy and design. Chiquet’s delightful Nouveau et Curieux Atlas was typical product of the time.
Fine condition, good margins.
