BLAEU, W. - Champagne latine Campania, comitatus.

A well executed and finely engraved map of the region of Champagne, famous for the sparkling white wine that bears its name.Champagne is an historic province of north eastern France, with the main commercial cities of Troyes, Epernay and Rgeims. This lovely map is embellished with a decorative scale cartouche showing two putti studying a globe and an attractive title cartouche in the lower right corner of the map.

From an incomplete example of the 1634 German text edition of Blaeu's "Novus Atlas", previously owned by Johann Christoph Gesen (1639), Johann Rudolph von Metzradt (1651), Friedrich August II, King of Saxony (1797-1854).
P. van der Krogt mentions two variants for the German 1634 text edition and only two examples containing proof states (Bad Münstereifel and Gotha).
