About the Item
'Dept. du Var', steel engraving with original outline hand-colouring., 1856, from Levasseur's Atlas National Illustre.
Var covers the heart of the French Riviera or Cote d'Azur., and includes the resort cities of Cannes, Nice and San Tropez, among many others. This area also houses a number of vineyards. Here you will find the AOC Coteaux varois en Provence, which produces a wide variety of reds and whites. The red wines principally use the grenache, cinsaut, mourvedre and syrah grapes. White wines use the clairette, grenache blanc, rolle blanc, Semillon Blanc, and Ugni Blanc. The map proper 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.
Levasseur was an important French engineer, cartographer, and engraver of the mid 19th century.

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.
