Copperplate engraved with original hand color in outline and columns of text detailing each year from 3824 to 3837 (indicating years of the world) to either side of the image. An antique map of the ancient Roman Empire by a French geographer and demographer named Louis Brion de la Tour whose official title was "Geographer Engineer of the King." His maps were done in collaboration with Louis Charles Desnos (ca. 1750-1790) - Royal Globemaker to the King of Denmark, Christian VII. This map was published in "Atlas Methodique et Elementaire de Geographie et l'Histoire …" (Claude Buy de Mornas). In addition to the beautiful map and fascinating text (all in French), the map is surrounded by an elaborate decorative border that includes images of a globe, a map, and instruments of cartography as well as festoons of flowering branches and a mythical visage at top center.
