Description

Borders have always been outlined in the realm of cartography. In this map, virtually all the Basque Country is presented under two choronyms, “Basque” and “La Navarre”. The representation of the French-Spanish border is ambiguous, as it was the practice in French cartography during the two centuries following the conquest of Navarre.
