Rare wall map of the Savoie/Piémont and Dauphiné/Provence region. Decorated with 2 title-cartouches, one at upper right part (Savoye/Piémont) and one at lower right prat of the map (Dauphiné/Provence). The lower part with the coast of Provence is decorated with numerous ships, naval battles, 2 inset maps with a plan of Tolon (Toulon) and a view of Marseille, as well as a scale (5 different) and a key.
The wall map is known in 6 sheets covering Piemont and Savoy but this copy extends to the south with the Provence region, with a separate title-cartouche.

The only found copy on 9 sheets (joined) is in the British Library (The BL King’s Topographical Collection). The former owner was George III, King of Great Britain, 1738-1820.
