About the Item
The circa 1825 original engraving of "Syrie" by Giraldon Bovinet, based on the work of L. Vivien, is a historically significant map that reflects early 19th-century cartographic techniques and geographic knowledge of the Eastern Mediterranean region. Published as Numéro 47 by Ménard & Desenne, prominent French publishers at the time, this engraving is part of a broader series of maps that depicted the ancient and contemporary regions of the world.
The map shows Syria (Syrie) as understood during the early 19th century, covering a broader region that includes present-day Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and parts of Jordan. The area, referred to as Syria Propria in historical texts, was a significant territory in both biblical and classical histories, often associated with the ancient Levant and its civilizations.
Giraldon Bovinet was known for his detailed and precise engraving work, and this map exemplifies the care and craftsmanship that went into such pieces during this period. The engraving outlines various geographic features, including mountain ranges, rivers, and coastal areas. Borders are marked, with an emphasis on the division of territories within this vast region, while cities and significant locations are labeled meticulously.
The use of fine lines and hatching techniques highlights the topography of the area, giving viewers a clear sense of the terrain. The map includes longitude and latitude markers, a common practice in the era’s cartography, assisting in providing accurate geographic context. Additionally, the map is bordered with a decorative frame, which adds to its aesthetic value and reflects the neoclassical design style prevalent in early 19th-century France.
This engraving is not only a functional map but also a work of art, symbolizing the intersection of cartography, geography, and artistic expression during the period. The Ménard & Desenne publication firm played a significant role in disseminating such detailed geographic engravings, contributing to the broader European understanding of Middle Eastern regions.
As an artifact, this map serves as an important reminder of the historical and political dynamics of the time, offering insights into how Europe viewed and represented the lands of the Near East. It remains a valuable piece for both collectors of antique maps and historians interested in the geopolitical and geographic perceptions of the 19th century.

1947 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...
