Acerca del artículo

Map of Charente France with Cognac Region and Château de La Rochefoucauld, 19th c Description: This richly illustrated 19th-century map of the Charente department in southwestern France was published in Paris by Migeon as part of the *Nouvel Atlas Illustré*. Drawn by Alexandre Vuillemin, the map combines accurate geography with artistic flourishes that reflect the cultural and historical wealth of this renowned region, particularly known for its world-famous brandy. Hand-colored in soft violet tones along the borders, the map features detailed engravings of rivers, towns, and roads across the Charente department. Angoulême, the departmental capital, is prominently marked near the center, surrounded by historic communes including Cognac, Jarnac, Ruffec, and Barbezieux. The topography is delicately rendered, emphasizing the undulating countryside of western France. In the lower right corner is a beautifully engraved vignette of the Château de La Rochefoucauld, one of the most striking Renaissance castles in France. Above it is a portrait of the military leader François de La Rochefoucauld, Duke of La Rochefoucauld and notable author of the famous *Maximes*. To the upper left is a portrait of King François I, born in Cognac, underscoring the region’s royal heritage. A young woman in traditional attire and botanical setting decorates the lower left, adding a pastoral charm to the map’s composition. The department of Charente is internationally celebrated for the production of Cognac, a world-class brandy made from white grapes grown in the region’s chalky soil. Cognac and nearby towns like Jarnac are home to some of France’s most prestigious distilleries, including Hennessy, Martell, and Courvoisier. The region is also known for producing pineau des Charentes, a fortified wine, and for its strong literary and printing history, especially centered in Angoulême. This map is a striking tribute to the legacy of the Charente region—its landscape, noble estates, historic personalities, and contribution to global spirits culture. Condition summary: Very good condition with light toning and a few minor foxing marks mostly in the margins. The hand coloring is well preserved and the engraving remains crisp and detailed. Framing tips: A black or walnut wood frame will pair beautifully with this piece. Use a warm cream or soft grey mat to enhance the tones of the paper and highlight the engraved architectural and portrait details. UV-protective glass is recommended for preservation.
