This impressive two-sheet engraved map of France was executed by the renowned London cartographer Herman Moll during the early eighteenth century. It depicts the Kingdom of France divided into its historic provinces and recent territorial acquisitions following the expansionist wars of Louis XIV. The map extends to encompass neighboring regions including southern England, the Spanish Netherlands, the Holy Roman Empire, Switzerland, Piedmont, and northern Spain. A fine compass rose decorates the Bay of Biscay, while detailed post roads and calculated distances between major urban centers are traced throughout the landscape. The visual presentation is dominated by an elaborate cartouche in the lower left corner featuring allegorical figures representing military triumph, wisdom, and royalty alongside the French royal coat of arms. Flanking the map on the left and right margins are extensive typographic tables, including an alphabetical gazetteer of principal towns, distance charts, and a detailed list of mountain passes through the Pyrenees. Original hand coloring in outline effectively distinguishes regions such as Normandy, Brittany, Guienne, Languedoc, and Provence.
