Genuine Antique Hand-Colored Map

1845 circa

Maker: Levasseur.

 

Antique map from the Atlas National Illustre des 86 Departments et des Possessions de la France, Divise par Arrondissements, Cantons et Communea, by Levasseur, circa 1845. This map shows interesting boundaries, including Texas as a Republic (in it's "strawberry" shape), a suggested Northwest Passage, Mexico before the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and the US claims in the Northwest (reflected in the slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight"). It is unclear why outdated political boundaries continued to be used in Levasseur's atlases (perhaps because these particular changes didn't concern the French). Surrounded by exquisitely detailed engraved illustrations and vignettes that have been professionally colored by our colorist, as well as statistical and general information. Very good condition, approx. 12 x 17.25 inches.
