8 Jean-Baptiste Nolin (1657–1708) - Map of France - Landes region / Nouvelle-Aquitaine L'Evesche d"aire - 1681-1700
This finely detailed map titled Carte du Gouvernement de Béarn depicts the administrative and ecclesiastical divisions of the Béarn region in southwestern France, including Aire and surrounding areas. The map includes elaborate cartouches, scale bars (Eschelle d’un lieu et demy de Gascogne), and a decorative legend explaining the symbols used for towns, parishes, castles, and noble houses. It is a visually rich representation of the territory, adorned with allegorical cherubs and a dedication to the Bishop of Aire. Despite the title on the cartouche naming Pierre Duval, this specific edition was engraved and published by Jean-Baptiste Nolin in 1695.
