This historical international map includes several specific locations, such as the isle dieu, bretagne, anjou, touraine, angoumois, perigold, saintonge, mer de gascogne (bay of biscay), poitou, aunis, guienne, la garonne riviere (garonne river), and loudunois, as well as the tour de cordouan (cordouan lighthouse). Featured towns on this map include tonnay, talmont, loudun, mortemer, poitiers, chalais, riberac, angoule, marton, blaye, and monbrun. This antique map represents the west-central region of france. The theme of the atlas from which this map originates is the "atlas portatif universel et militaire" by m. Robert. The source indicates that this atlas is a portable, universal, and military collection composed of the best maps available for the king. It is both engraved and handwritten by the most famous geographers and engineers of the time. Authored by m. Robert, who is described as the ordinary geographer to the king, this work was published in paris, france, in 1748. See less
