8 Johannes Janssonius - Map of The Sovereignty of Sedan and of Raucourt, and the Provostship of Donchery - La Sovveraineté de Sedan et de Ravcovrt, et la Prevosté de Doncheri
The composition is rich in decorative elements, with a large, elaborate cartouche in the lower-left corner, framed with baroque-style flourishes, acanthus leaves, and a golden frame. At the top of the cartouche, a royal blue shield featuring the fleur-de-lis is crowned, symbolizing the region’s ties to the French monarchy.
