This anonymous 18th-century map, "Kaart van Artesië," depicts the region of Artois in northern France, focusing on the county of Artois, as it was known before it was incorporated into France. The map details rivers, towns, and other geographic features, providing a valuable cartographic record of the region in the early 18th century. The map's colorful palette and detailed inscription highlight the significance of Artois during this period. The map's small size and relatively simple design suggest it might have been intended for a smaller audience, possibly for private use or as part of a larger collection of maps.
