About the Item
Antique map titled 'Dept. de l'Yonne'. Map of the French department of L'Yonne, France. L'Yonne is of France's premier Burgundy wine region and produces some of the worlds finest reds. Yonne is also one of only two departments that produce Chaource cheese. Chaource is a cow's milk cheese, cylindrical in shape. The central pâte is soft, creamy in color, and slightly crumbly, and is surrounded by a white penicillium candidum rind. The whole map is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate both the natural beauty and trade richness of the land. There is a short textual history of the regions depicted on both the left and right sides of the map.
This map originates from 'Atlas National de la France Illustree' published by V. Levasseur, circa 1852.
Victor Levasseur (1800–1870) 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's "Atlas National Illustré" and "Atlas Universel Illustré" are among the last great decorative atlases published.
