Antique Map of the Cambrai Region

Antique map titled 'Archiepiscopatus Cameracensis - Archevesche de Cambray'. Decorative map of the Cambrai region of France. This map originates from 'The English Atlas' by Moses Pitt.

The project halted when Pitt was imprisoned for debts incurred as a result of building speculation.
