Antique map titled 'Archiepiscopatus Cameracensis - Archevesche de Cambray'. Decorative map of the Cambrai region of France. This map originates from 'The English Atlas' by Moses Pitt. Moses Pitt, a London bookseller, had an ambitious plan to produce a 12-volume atlas in the Blaeu-Jansson tradition: however, only the first four atlases were published, and only the text to the fifth was printed. The project halted when Pitt was imprisoned for debts incurred as a result of building speculation.
