The title is displayed along the top of the map.
In this map De L'Isle corrects his previous impression of the Senegal river, which, in earlier maps, he joined to the Nile by a hypothetical line. He now records the Niger as 'an arm of the Nile'.

Guillaume de L'Isle [Insulanus](1675-1726). French cartographer, pupil of Cassini, called father of modern geography. Member of the Academy of Sciences 1702. Premier Géographe de Roy 1718. Produced over 100 maps and atlases.

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.
The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.
At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14).
