Written in ink in upper right corner: "No. 7." Depicts Normandy divided into several regions including "Couteantin, "Avranchin," "Bocage," "Houlme," "Campagne de Caen," "Le Pays Dauge," "Lieuvin Louche," "Campagne D'Alencon," "Romois," "Campagne De Neubourg, " "Campagne De Sandre," "Vexin Normand," and "Pays De Caux."

[West 2'00--E ast1'45/North 50 '05--North 48' 22].Guillaume de L'Isle (1675-1726) was a cartographer and the Premier Geographer to the King in France beginning in 1718. His family played a significant part in the world of French cartography in the eighteenth century. At age 9, he drew his first map and at age 27 he became a member of the Académie Royale des Sciences. He studied under Jacques Cassini, acquiring knowledge in both mathematics and astronomy. Due to his academic background and his "critical approach to the maps of his predecessors," he became known as the first "scientific cartographer" (Moreland and Bannister, 132). Among his works are "Globe, map of the world and the four continents" (1700), "Atlas de Géographie" (1700-12), "Mississippi" (1701), "Carte du Mexique et de la Floride…" (c.a. 1703), "Carte de la Louisiane et du Mississippi" (1718) and posthumously, "Atlas Noveau" (1730 and later). Following his death, his widow took up the business with a partner, Philippe Buache (Tooley 395; Moreland and Bannister, 131-2). This particular map was most likely published and removed from a copy of De L'Isle's "Atlas de Geographie." Source(s): David Rumsey Cartography Associates.
