Map of Holland, Belgium and northern France, with provinces in outline cartouche at top left, short historical text at lower centre. 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.
