A very fine example of an important two-sheet 'Lafreri-type' map of France. The map extends west to east from west Brittany to the Adriatic sea and north to south from London to Rome; major towns, rivers, lakes, and mountains are marked and named. In the sea there are numerous ships and sea monsters. An ornate strapwork cartouche to the upper right contains a dedication to Marco Antonio Radici, and a brief description of France.
