Scope and content
A print of a seventeenth-century map of Charleville (now Charleville-Mézières) in France. Charleville was the location where the exiled Irish Capuchins established their first residence in 1615. A manuscript annotation underneath the print in the volume reads ‘Charleville. The home of the Irish Capuchins from 1615 to 1686’. The map was originally published in Matthaeus Merian and Martin Zeiler, ‘Topographia Galliae’ (Frankfort [c.1655-61]).
