Description |
English: This is a remarkable example of Jan Jansson's 1657 mapping of France or Gaul in antiquity. Cartographically this map exhibits heavy influence from a very similar map of the same name published by A. Ortelius in his 1597 Parergon . Based on Greek and Roman sources including Pliny, Strabo, Virgil, Ceasar, and others. A decorative title cartouche depicting curious winged women with exceptionally long necks (harpies?) appears in the lower left quadrant. This remarkable map was published in volume six, the Orbis Antiquus , of Jan Jansson's Novus Atlas .

Elle est basée sur des sources grecques et romaines dont Pline, Strabon, Virgile, César, et d'autres. Une cartouche de titre décoratif représentant de curieuses femmes ailées avec le cou exceptionnellement long (harpies ?) apparaît dans le quadrant inférieur gauche.
