Additional Details

This map appeared approximately one year after Chatelain''s original of 1719. The copy of Chatelain''s map has been mistakenly credited to Lotter. Its author is, however, anonymous. It is almost identical to the Chatelain rendering except in its framing of the vignette and the use of italics in the cartouche. Kershaw 336.
