À propos de cet article

Map of Allier France with Saint-Pourçain Wine Region by Vuillemin, 19th c This decorative 19th-century map of Allier, a central department of France, comes from the celebrated Nouvel Atlas Illustré by Alexandre Vuillemin and was published by Migeon in Paris. A fine example of Vuillemin’s signature style, the map combines cartographic precision with artistic embellishment, including historical portraits, regional views, and heraldic symbols. The map presents the department of Allier in considerable detail, with towns, roads, and rivers clearly labeled. Borders are delicately hand-colored in soft pastels, adding visual clarity and refinement. In the lower left corner, a charming engraved vignette depicts the town of Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule, a historic center known for its wine production. A portrait of the Marquis de Villars appears in the upper left corner, honoring the Marshal of France born in Moulins in 1653, and to the lower right is a costumed figure representing local tradition or rural character. These added elements give a cultural depth to the map, emphasizing the department’s historical and artistic identity. Allier lies in the northern part of the Auvergne region and is notable for its gentle landscapes, spa towns, and early contributions to viticulture. The area surrounding Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule is particularly famous for its wine. Saint-Pourçain is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in France, with vines dating back to Roman times. The appellation today produces red, white, and rosé wines using grape varieties such as Gamay, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and the rare local grape Tressallier. These wines are known for their freshness, minerality, and approachable character, and the region holds an official AOC designation. Alexandre Vuillemin was a respected 19th-century French cartographer known for blending educational and decorative elements into his maps. His work for the publisher Migeon is widely collected today for its artistic richness and historical accuracy. Migeon specialized in finely printed atlases that were both practical and visually appealing, appealing to a growing educated public in France during the period. Condition summary: Very good condition. Light overall toning and a few faint foxing spots, mostly in the margins. The engraved lines are sharp, and the original hand-coloring remains fresh. Framing tips: This map will display beautifully in a dark oak or gold-leafed frame. A light beige or warm white mat will enhance the antique tones of the paper and the pastel border colors. Consider using museum-quality glass to protect the engraving and preserve its condition.
