Color map of the Royal Canal of Languedoc (Canal du Midi) by J.B. Nolin, which was built through southwestern France to connect the Mediterranean with the Atlantic. Extending for 150 miles, it ran from the port of Sete on the Mediterranean to Toulouse on the Garonne River. The project was approved by Royal Decree of Louis XIV in 1666 and took nearly 20 years to complete. It was the largest civil engineering project in seventeenth century Europe. The map is surrounded by coats of arms of the men associated with the construction of the canal and by 51 numbered views of aqueducts, locks and basins, and 3 inset maps with titles: Carte particuliere de l'entree de la Garonne; Carte de la communication de l'Ocean et de la Mediteranee par le canal royal de Languedoc and Carte de la riviere de Beziers, ou de l'Ore ... Includes text on the history of the project, dedication note, decorative title cartouche and compass rose. Relief shown pictorially.
