Le monde ou La géographie universelle : contenant les descriptions, les cartes, et le blason, des principaux païs du monde.
A geography book published in Paris in 1676 by Pierre Duval, a royal geographer, with its descriptions, maps and heraldry aimed at a general reader. Its pictures are small engraved maps printed across facing pages, showing regions such as Savoy, Switzerland and the Rhine with place names, borders and decorative cartouches, which a designer might take as a model for antique cartographic layout and lettering.
