Important map of Brittany produced by the geographical engineer Jean-Baptiste Ogée (1728-1789) and engraved by Nion in 1771.
It was on a copy of this map that the Breton deputies, on February 26, 1790, delimited and approved the creation of the five new departments.
Formerly intended to be folded, this map was cut then covered in order to give it a transportable format that can be used anywhere.
Framed copy, presented in one piece, and fixed to a rigid support by small nails passing through the canvas and not the paper.
Good condition; a freckle (burn?) at the top right of Rennes; small tear in the remarks table (bottom right); See photos.
France, 18th century, 1771
