The areas of the map itself are intact and clear, but the four corners, each containing blocks of text, have suffered loss, previous to the addition of a modern cloth backing. The first three words of the title ('Nouveau Plan Routier') have suffered loss. The 'AVERTISSMENTS' by 'Le Sr. Nolin' is intact. Nolin the younger produced three edtions of his important map, in 1744, 1751 et 1761, each with significant variations. All three were issued loosely, and not in bound volumes, and are scarce in consequence.~350~MAPS PLANS CARTOGRAPHIC CARTOGRAPHY FRANCE FRENCH PARIS JEAN-BAPTISTE NOLIN FILS PLAN ROUTIER DE LA VILLE ET FAUBOURG DE PARIS EIGHTEENTH CENTURY BOURBON~~0~Burke's shel (rolled)~~~0~~
