Published in Atlas Universel by Gilles and Didier Robert de Vaugondy from 1757.
Gilles Robert Vaugondy (1696-1766) was a professor of mathematics who inherited the mapmaking and geographical business of Nicolas Sanson and his sons, and together with his son Didier Robert de Vaugondy (1723-1786), established the Vaugondy name in the geographical world. 

A very good example on heavy paper with good margins in original hand colour.
