Dept. De L'ain - Levasseur, Victor / A. Combette - 1852

£25.00

Antique 1852 maps by Victor Levasseur of French departements and the world from his "Atlas Nationale illustré des 86 Départements et des Possessions de la France", A Combette, Paris. Cartes départementales.

Artist; Levasseur, Victor. - Published: A. Combette Paris, 1847

Dimensions   284 x 422 mm - Steel Engraving.

Notes  Illustrations by Raimon-Bonheur, Peintre

Victor Jules Levasseur (1795–1862) was a French cartographer widely known for his distinctive decorative style. He produced numerous maps more admired for the artistic content of the scenes and data surrounding the map than for the detail of the map.

He was an important French engineer, cartographer, and engraver of the mid 19th century, held several important cartographically related political and educations posts in France. He is most famous for his Atlas National Illustré des 86 Départements et des Possessions de La France, a large decorative atlas of France, including his Planisphere and five important continental maps. Levasseur's maps are distinctive for their wide decorative margins containing elaborate depictions of the scenery, peoples, and trade goods of the areas he mapped. Levasseur maps are also known to offer a wealth of statistical data. Until recently, very few Levasseur Atlases migrated out of France where they were mostly used in public libraries and town halls. His work represents some of the last great decorative atlases of the 19th century.

Plate engraving is clean and bright. Small amount of staining around the periphery. Pricing and grading commensurate.
