The large inset ‘Le Roiaume de Salomon’ shows the Kingdom of Salomon. There is a large and elaborate title cartouche. The map is from a French Bible published by Guillaume Despres. Pierre Moullart inherited the copper plates of his grandfather, Nicolas Sanson, and added the Sanson suffix to his name to publish maps
