There are several online*versions of the*Carte générale de France, the first comprehensive map of France produced by the Cassini family in the 18th century. Some, like those hosted by the*EHESS and the David Rumsey Map Collection, georectify and stitch together*the individual maps together to make a more-or-less seamless whole. On Gallica, the Bibliothèque nationale de France’s digital library, it’s presented as individual sheets;*the Library of Congress does the same*with its copy—the better to appreciate the originals, I suppose.
