BLAEU – Ducatus chablasius et Lacus Lemanus cum regionibus adjacentibus, c. 1682 Large sheet with a central fold, containing a copperplate engraving in black. Scale. Title cartouche and scale featuring cherubs. Bears the dry stamp of the Brighton Public Library. (Tears outside the margins at the folds; pieces of paper glued to the reverse). Outside margins: 39 x 60.5 cm This map of the Duchy of Chablais (Ducatus Chablasius) was drawn by the Piedmontese topographer Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio, engraved in Amsterdam and published by the famous Dutch publisher Joan Blaeu as part of the monumental *Theatrum Statuum Sabaudiae*. It is one of the three major regional maps in the Savoy section of the atlas. The production of the *Theatrum Sabaudiae* took nearly 20 years and served several purposes: to provide a precise survey of the House of Savoy’s territories, and above all to demonstrate its power to the other princely houses of Europe.
