About this sheet

Antique map 'Totius Lemovici et consinium provinciaru quantum ad dioecesin Lemovicensen spectant'. Decorative map of the province of Limoge based on the important map of Antoin-Jean Fayen. Each corner is adorned with a decorative cartouche; the one at upper right encloses a bird's-eye plan of Limoges. This map originates from 'Atlas Novus, Sive Theatrum Orbis Orbis Terrarum: In quo Galliae, Helvetiae (..)' by J. Janssonius (1656-1657).
