À propos de cet article

Map of Côtes-du-Nord France with Saint-Brieuc and Brittany Coastline, 19th c Description: This elegant 19th-century map of Côtes-du-Nord, the historic name for what is now known as Côtes-d’Armor in Brittany, was created by Alexandre Vuillemin and published by Migeon in Paris for the *Nouvel Atlas Illustré*. Blending precise cartographic detail with finely engraved embellishments, the map presents the coastal and inland features of this northwestern French department. The map outlines Côtes-du-Nord in soft pink hand-coloring and carefully labels towns, rivers, and roadways. Saint-Brieuc, the prefecture, is centrally located along the northern coast, while other important towns such as Dinan, Lannion, Guingamp, and Loudéac are also marked. The geography reflects the area’s rugged coastlines, with peninsulas, small bays, and offshore islands rendered with care. The northern boundary is bordered by the English Channel, historically vital for trade and maritime activity. A charming vignette at the top right depicts the Breton countryside with a wayside cross and a rural village in the distance—an homage to the region’s deep Catholic and pastoral traditions. In the lower right corner is a portrait of Jean-Marie de Lamennais, a prominent 19th-century priest and educational reformer from the region. The coat of arms, accompanied by a decorative banner, appears at bottom left, adding a heraldic touch. Côtes-du-Nord, now Côtes-d’Armor, is part of historic Brittany and known for its strong cultural identity, Celtic heritage, and rich agricultural landscape. While not famous for wine, the region is renowned for apple orchards and traditional Breton cider production. It is also known for dairy, salt production, fishing, and religious architecture, including numerous chapels and calvaries. This map captures the essence of 19th-century Brittany—spiritual, rural, and maritime—offering a decorative yet informative view of the region. It is a compelling piece for collectors of antique maps or those interested in the history and culture of northwestern France. Condition summary: Very good condition with slight toning to the edges and light foxing in the margins. The engraving is crisp and the hand coloring remains clear and vibrant. Framing tips: A rustic wood or black frame complements the coastal and cultural theme. A cream or pale grey mat will enhance the visual contrast with the soft pink border and engraved details. Use UV-protective glass for long-term preservation.
