Antique Map of Seine et Oise 'France' by V. Levasseur, 1854
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Dépt. de Seine et Oise'. Map of the French department of Seine-et-Oise. Centred on Versailles, its administrative centre, Seine-et-Oise extends from Espernon to Melun and from Pontoise to Etampes. Paris figures prominently in the right hand section of the map. Also shows the city walls surrounding Paris as well as the ring of fortifications completed in 1848. The embastillement of Paris was perhaps the most extravagant waste of resources of the July Monarchy. The whole is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate the agricultural and cultural wealth of the region. There is a short textual history of Seine-et-Oise on both the left and right sides of the map. This map originates from ‘Atlas National de la France Illustré’. Published by A. Combette, Paris, 1854.

Victor Levasseur
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. Victor Levasseur was born in 1795 in France. Little is known about his early life and education, but he emerged as one of the most prominent French cartographers of the 19th century. Levasseur lived during a time of significant political and geographical changes in France and Europe, which greatly influenced his work as a mapmaker.
