This elegant copperplate engraving titled Carte Générale du Royaume de France presents the political geography of 18th-century France, including its historic provinces such as Bretagne, Normandie, Languedoc, Provence, and Dauphiné. The map includes neighboring regions like Suisse and Italie, as well as maritime features like the English Channel (La Manche) and the Mer Méditerranée. It was designed as a didactic tool during the Enlightenment, combining compact scale with remarkable detail.
The map was published in Amsterdam in 1743 as part of Introduction à l’Histoire Générale et Politique de l’Univers, a major historical and geographical compendium compiled by Bruzen de la Martinière and issued by Zacharie Chatelain. These works aimed to educate a broader European readership through accessible and finely engraved cartographic material.
