This
finely engraved beautifully hand coloured original
antique map of the Franche-Comté region of France with
parts of the French region of Burgundy as well as part
of western Switzerland & Lake Geneva was published by
Jan Jansson in the 1636 English edition of
Atlas Novus.
The text on the verso of the map explaining the facts
and history of the region is written in English, unusual
for the time.
