A very fine example of a rare and large scale map of the Netherlands. Originally published in 1748, Le Rouge's plates were first revised by Jean Crepy ca. 1770, then by Dezauche in 1790. This fourth state seems only to lack Dezauches title of 'Geographer to the king' after the French revolution. On the back of each sheet is an engraved trade card of the map seller J. Goujon, 6 rue de Bac, Paris each with the sheet number and the name of the region added in manuscript.
