Touraine - ORTELIUS (Abraham) & FRANÇOIS (Isaac). Touraine. Turonensis Ducatus et confinium Galliae Celticae Descriptio. [Antwerp], [Ortelius], [1598]. Copperplate engraving, 46.5 x 57 cm (image size), framed. One of the first detailed maps of Touraine, drawn up in 1592 by Isaac François, the king’s architect and engineer in Tours, who was responsible in particular for the city’s fortifications. It depicts the Duchy of Touraine, the Loire Valley, and neighboring territories, featuring a dense network of towns, villages, and waterways. Adorned with an elegant title cartouche, it also includes a reference to the twenty islands of the Loire. The map was published in Abraham Ortelius’s *Theatrum Orbis Terrarum* beginning in 1598.
