This is a scarce 1756 map of Switzerland by Robert de Vaugondy. It depicts Switzerland along with parts of Italy, France, Germany and Austria. The entire region is depicted in extraordinary detailed, offering both topographical and political information, with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile. The thirteen Cantons of Switzerland are also identified.
A large decorative title cartouche appears in the top left quadrant while a list of Cantons in included in the bottom left quadrant of the map. Issued in the 1757 issue of the Atlas Universal. The Atlas Universal was one of the first atlases based upon actual surveys. Therefore, this map is highly accurate (for the period) and has most contemporary town names correct, though historic names are, in many cases, incorrect or omitted.
