Copperplate engraving, 225x320 mm, hand-painted. Map of a unique style not comparable to any other map of the same period. Uncommon map of Brittany depicting all the convents of the Capuchin Fathers, published in "Chorographica descriptio Provinciarum et Conventum minorum S. Francisci Capucinorum" first published in 1643 in Turin, by Giovanni da Moncalieri, minister general of the Capuchin order, and updated by Giovanni Battista da Cassino in 1712. Very good copy with the left blank margin a little short. Small tear in lower margin
