Description
Very decorative map surrounded with a Rocco frame and with putti and cartographic tools by Louis Brion De La Tour (fl 1756-1803). On either side are panels of text. Beyond the fact that Brion was an engineer by profession and held the post of Ingenieur-Geographe du Roi, little is known of his career. He published a wide range of statistical works and a number of atlases. Published by the well known French mapmaker Louis Charles Desnos (1725-1805).
