This is the preface to the reader of the print work "Les Forces de l'Europe, Asie, Afrique et Amerique," created by Pieter (I) Mortier in 1702-1703. This page is an introduction to a larger print work that likely includes maps and illustrations of the major cities, forts, and other important places across Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. The preface was likely intended to help readers navigate the larger work, indicating the geographic coverage of each section or volume. It’s an excellent example of a 18th century mapmaker’s meticulous planning and organization of geographic data.
