Item description from seller

Sinlge sheet (sheet size 20 3/8 x 26 4/8 inches; 19 x 24 1/8 inches to the neat line) full margins showing the plate mark.

A very attractive map of the county of Flanders. As student of the noted French cartographer, Giovanni Domenico Cassini, and the son of Claude Delisle, the geographer and historian to the king, Guillaume Delisle developed a strong basis for his cartographical skills.

In 1718, Louis XIV celebrated his much revered skill and accuracy by appointing him First Geographer to the French Monarchy, a title created specifically for him. In his many years in this position, Delisle became known for his correction of geographical errors common to his contemporaries, including dispelling the rumor of mythical lands in still-unexplored regions.…
