About the Item
The map with text neatly mounted on both sides of the map on the plate, is a section of an old map with accompanying French text. The map mentions several historical French provinces such as Poitou, Berry, Bourbonnais, and Nivernais, which are all regions in France. The text also refers to Moulins, which is a city in the Allier department in the center of France.
The text included on the map gives a hint about its creation, as it states "Chez Desnos Ingenieur Geographe Rue St.Jacques au Globe", which indicates that the map was made by an engineer or geographer named Desnos, located on Rue St. Jacques, possibly in Paris. The mention of "au Globe" could suggest that this was the name of his studio or shop. The date provided on the map is 1768.
More research is needed as we have been unable to provide more specific details about the map or its creator and we cannot find a similar one online. However, the name Desnos is associated with Louis Charles Desnos (1725–1805), who was an important French cartographer and geographical engineer of the 18th century. He was known for his work in globe making as well as his detailed maps of France and other parts of the world.
The area that the map is about includes central French regions, with a focus on administrative divisions and possibly routes or distances, as indicated by the legend referring to "lieues", a French unit of distance used at the time.

Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania.
Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'.
This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's.
The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked.
The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east.
There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso.
Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte.
