Geographic and military Atlas of France in two parts, this atlas being part one only. The first part: Map of France divided into XXXI Governments and Military provinces, dated 1754, by Cassini de Thury, include new engraved ornate title page with allegorical figures, 24 double-page sheets, chiefly outline hand colored detailed regional maps of France and 6 pages of engraved tables. The 24 sheets when joined show distances from Paris in concentric circles of 5 Petite Lieues or about 12 miles. This is one of the earliest examples of this kind of distance map that we have seen. Maps show the main war places and maritime towns on the Kingdom's borders, fortified towns, principal cities, with their longitudes and latitudes, rivers, lakes and mountains. Relief shown pictorially. Part 2 (not present) with maps and descriptions of 110 war locations and cities.
