An attractive 18th century map of France which was produced by Thomas Jefferys and published in Thomas Salmon’s A New Geographical and Historical Grammar (London: 1749-1772).

Thomas Jefferys (c.1695-1771) was an outstanding 18th century cartographer and publisher whose prolific output ranged from 1 inch to 1 mile county maps to some of the finest maps of the time of North America. He enjoyed a very high reputation for his work and was appointed Geographer to the Prince of Wales and George III. Despite this, he never received much success financially and was even bailed out of bankruptcy during the production of his American atlas.
