Jean Lattre (also known as Jean Lattré) was a French engraver and mapmaker who was active in the 18th century. In 1783, he produced a map titled "Corsica," which would have depicted the island of Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea that belongs to France.

Corsica is known for its rugged landscape, rich history, and unique culture. The map created by Jean Lattre in 1783 it's a detailed cartographic representation of the island, featuring geographical features such as mountains, rivers, and coastlines. It might also include depictions of cities, towns, villages, and roads.

Given the year of its creation (1783), this map could have historical significance related to Corsica's political and social context during that time. In 1769, Corsica was acquired by France after a long period of Genoese rule, and the island's status within the French realm could be of interest in interpreting the map. It might show administrative divisions, territorial boundaries, and perhaps even symbols or notations indicating Corsican culture, traditions, or landmarks.

Cartography during this era often combined both artistic and scientific elements, and maps from the 18th century often exhibit a certain level of elegance and aesthetic detail.
