1 map : copperplate engraving, hand colour. Title in the top right. Scale bar (lieues) in the bottom left corner. This map appears to have been used as a source for two Dutch maps of Nivernais first published in 1631, by the Blaeus (Koeman 4855:2) and Henricus Hondius (Koeman 4855:1.1).
Author
Tassin, Christophe Nicolas, -1660
Note
1 map : 6 joined copperplate engravings, hand colour. Six decorative cartouches around the edges, containing the regional titles and scale bars. These have been engraved onto smaller plates which have either been been printed onto a separate sheet or on top of the map itself. Only the large cartouche in the bottom right was engraved on the same plate as the map, although the title it carries was engraved on a separate plate.

Note
1 map : copperplate engraving on 4 sheets, hand colour. Scale bar on a banner along the top edge of the map. Title in the top right corner, on a curtain draped over a tree. This is one of two identically-sized maps of French regions in the Klencke Atlas, both of which are attributed to Christophe Nicolas Tassin, who produced many smaller maps of French provinces. Tassin was also responsible for the stylistically similar map immediately following this pair in the Atlas, for which see 004843497.

Short introduction to the map, including its classical sources, in the bottom left corner, in a decorative cartouche flanked by Mercury and Hercules, who stand on the branches of a shrub.
