• Author: Nicolas Maire (indicated as Par MAIRE Géog.), a famous engineer-geographer active in Paris during the early decades of the 19th century. • Year of publication: 1826, printed during the period of the Bourbon Restoration (reign of Charles X). • Place of edition: Paris (à Paris). • Visual characteristics: The map is divided into geometric sections mounted on canvas ("entoilée"), a technique typical of the nineteenth century that allowed the large map to be easily folded to be kept in its cardboard cover (the one with the Milanese shopkeeper Louis Zucoli's stamp). • Cartographic details: It shows the French administrative boundaries of the time, with side panels dedicated to the profiles and views of the main sea ports and colonies. In the bottom left is clearly visible a portion of northern Spain adjacent.
