A finely engraved, elegantly designed and very detailed map of Brittany from the "golden age of Dutch cartography". The Amsterdam mapmaking family of Blaeu were amongst the most highly regarded of the seventeenth century. This map displays all the facets of the work for which they are justly famed, displaying immense cartographic detail, with innumerable places identified in a clear but artistic presentation. Ships and compass roses occupy the seas while the title is held on tasselled banner by two muscular mermen.
