engraving intaglio from the year 1763, published by the geographer Desnos and drawn up by Rizzi Zannoni, representing an antique map of France. It is titled “France divided into its generalities of stewardship and country of states". It is therefore a thematic Map of France, from the 18th century, intended to represent the generalities of the Kingdom of France. A generality is an administrative district of Ancien Régime France. There were up to thirty-seven generalities, the last having been created in 1784. They were created in 1542 with the Edict of Cognac.
