View All1947 original map Gouvernement Généraux du Poitou, du Pays d'Aunis
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1947 original map Gouvernement Généraux du Poitou, du Pays d'Aunis et de Saintonge Angoumois, created by Louis Larmat and printed by Dorel in Paris, is a beautifully detailed cartographic representation of a historically significant region in western France. This map, part of Larmat’s extensive body of work, is known for its artistic craftsmanship and geographical precision, offering a comprehensive view of the historical administrative regions of Poitou, Aunis, Saintonge, and Angoumois, which played key roles in the political and cultural history of France.
Louis Larmat is celebrated for his contributions to cartography, particularly for his ability to merge historical context, topographical detail, and aesthetic elegance in his maps. His works, especially those focusing on the vinicultural regions of France, are highly respected for their accuracy and artistry. This particular map, although focusing on a more political and historical aspect rather than the wine regions he is most famous for, continues his tradition of detailed regional documentation. Larmat’s cartographic works often transcended the realm of simple geographical depiction, becoming historical documents that encapsulate the cultural essence of the regions they portray.
This map illustrates the general governments (administrative divisions) of the provinces of Poitou, Aunis, Saintonge, and Angoumois, regions that are steeped in history. These areas, situated along France’s western coastline, have been integral to the country’s political, economic, and cultural development over centuries. The region of Poitou, for example, is historically known as the birthplace of Eleanor of Aquitaine...
