This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Lotharingia Dvcatvs: Vulgo Lorraine’ which translates to ‘Duchy of Lorraine’. The map depicts the region of Lorraine, located in northeastern France, with Nancy, Lunéville, and Strasbourg positioned centrally. During the early 17th century, France was a powerful European nation under the reign of Louis XIII and his son Louis XIV. The country was expanding its territories and engaging in various wars with neighbouring nations, including Germany. This map provides a glimpse into the geography of Lorraine during this time period and the relationship between France and its neighbouring countries.
