This finely executed seventeenth-century map depicts the historical Île-de-France region surrounding Paris. Bounded by Beauvaisis to the north, Valois and Le Multien to the northeast, and Brie to the southeast, the cartography illustrates the regional river systems, including the meandering Seine and Marne rivers. Numerous individual towns, fortified villages, châteaux, and forested areas like the Forest of Chantilly are rendered with delicate architectural vignettes and topography. Originally surveyed by François de La Guillotière in the late sixteenth century and dedicated to the French scholar Pierre Pithou, this work was incorporated into major Dutch atlases during the seventeenth century. The upper-left corner features a grand decorative cartouche flanked by putti and armorial shields, while the lower-left displays a linear scale bar in French common leagues.
