Ook kunnen de zelve aan malkander gevoegt worden. Amsterdam, P. Schenk, 1735 according to finely handcoloured double-page engraved title page, this general title followed by a handcoloured double-page title in Dutch and French and handcoloured double-page "Voorbericht"/ "Advertissement", also 36 double-page handcoloured engraved maps after G. de l'Isle, contemporary sheepskin overlapping portfolio binding with pocket in back board (lacks tie, leather slightly dry across spine).

Without overview map. Very rare. Remarkably, PiCarta lists only a 1744 edition, we did find copies of our edition in libraries abroad. As indicated by the title, the maps could also be combined into a wall map (ca. 65 x 140 cm.).
