This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Archiepiscopatvs Cameracensis’, which translates to ‘Archdiocese of Cambrai’. The map depicts an area in northern France, with Cambrai, Douai, and Monchaux-sur-Écaillon located centrally. The region was known for its agriculture, with fertile soil and a thriving textile industry. The early 17th century saw France embroiled in conflicts with neighbouring countries, including Belgium, which is also depicted on the map. The map provides a glimpse into the political and geographical landscape of the time, and the intricacies of the archdiocese’s boundaries.
