Acerca del artículo

Map of Aveyron France with Rodez, Millau and Wine Routes, 19th Century Description: This detailed and decorative 19th-century map of Aveyron, a department in southern France, was drawn by Alexandre Vuillemin and published by Migeon in Paris as part of the *Nouvel Atlas Illustré*. It blends accurate geographic detail with beautifully engraved illustrations and hand-colored borders, presenting a rich visual profile of this historic and agricultural region. The map shows all major towns and roads within Aveyron, including Rodez, Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Espalion, and Millau. Department borders are hand-colored in soft yellow, while rivers and road networks are intricately engraved. In the top left corner is a view of Millau, long before its modern fame for the Millau Viaduct. At bottom left, a larger vignette depicts Rodez, the prefecture of the department, with its striking cathedral visible on the skyline and a rural scene of daily life in the foreground. On the right side of the map is a figure of Admiral d’Estaing, a native of Aveyron and a prominent figure during the American Revolutionary War. The coat of arms and a vulture engraved below pay tribute to the region’s natural identity, particularly referencing the Grands Causses and the gorges where birds of prey nest. These flourishes reflect the region’s harmony between history, geography, and nature. Aveyron is also known for its agricultural traditions, including wine production in the Marcillac region. The wines of Aveyron are lesser known but full of character, made from grapes such as Fer Servadou (locally called Mansois). Marcillac’s red and rosé wines are noted for their earthy, slightly spicy notes, grown in terraced vineyards on iron-rich soils. The region is also famous for Roquefort cheese and rustic gastronomy, making this map appealing for collectors of culinary or wine-related heritage. Alexandre Vuillemin’s maps are admired for their balance of scientific detail and visual charm. Migeon’s publication enriched the atlas with cultural references, decorative flourishes, and educational value, making these prints both artistic and informative. Condition summary: Very good antique condition with light age toning and a few small foxing spots in the margins. The engraved detail is crisp, and the original hand coloring is clean and intact. Framing tips: Best presented in a dark oak or classic black frame with a warm cream or ivory mat to highlight the yellow borders. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the integrity of the paper and detail over time.
