First edition of this monumental French mural map of Brabant is from 1748. Le Rouge was a professional military engineer and geographer of the king of France. In the "Nota" on the title cartouche it says that it is amazing that there are no maps of Holland (the VII Provinces) published on multiple sheets of the same scale. In addition to this mural map, Le Rouge also published mural maps of Holland and Zeeland. The map was published in ‘L’Atlas général contenant le Détail des quatre Parties du Monde principalement celui de L’Europe’, published by George Louis le Rouge on the Rue des Augustins in Paris, AD 1748.
