A fine example of Homann’s 1716 map of Burgundy, one of France’s most important wine regions.  Extends to include Lake Geneva in the southwest, Lorraine in the north, Champaigne (Champagne) and Angers to the northwest and Bourgogne to the west. Depicts mountains, forests, castles, and fortifications and features an elaborate title cartouche decorated with cherub winemakers in the bottom right.  A fine example of this rare map.  Produced by J. H. Homann for inclusion in the Grosser Atlas published in Nuremberg, 1716.
