1700s Colored French Map, Lotharingia Ducatus, Lorraine. This hand-colored, copper engraved map was made by Matthäus Merian der Ältere in the 18th century. M. Merian was a Swiss-born engraver who worked mostly in Frankfurt. This map seems to depict the region of Lorraine, France, save in the bottom right corner, which depicts Saarland, a German state that borders France. The map is enclosed in a gold gilt frame. A great gift for a history buff.
