À propos de cet article

Title: Map of Gard France with Pont du Gard and Wine Regions by Vuillemin, 19th c Description: This finely engraved 19th-century map of the department of Gard in southern France was produced by Alexandre Vuillemin and published by Migeon in Paris as part of the *Nouvel Atlas Illustré*. The map blends detailed topographical information with artistic embellishments, offering a window into the geography, culture, and heritage of the region. Gard is located in the Occitanie region and borders the Mediterranean Sea, Ardèche, Hérault, Bouches-du-Rhône, and Lozère. The map outlines the department with a fine hand-colored orange border and clearly marks towns, rivers, roadways, and topographic features. Nîmes, Uzès, Alès, and Beaucaire are among the many towns shown in detail. At the lower left, a beautifully rendered vignette features the iconic **Pont du Gard**, a Roman aqueduct that stands as one of the most impressive and well-preserved Roman engineering feats in France. Built in the first century AD, it carried water to the city of Nîmes and remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To the lower right, the map includes a portrait of **Jacques-Joseph de Gourbillon**, a local historical figure, with an unfurled map scroll and inscription. A coat of arms and botanical ornamentation add further decorative elements to the sheet. Gard is also well known for its wine production, forming part of the greater **Côtes du Rhône** appellation. Vineyards near the Rhône River, including those around Tavel and Lirac, are especially notable. Tavel produces one of France’s most celebrated rosé wines, known for its full body, dry character, and historical reputation—it was said to be a favorite of Louis XIV and Ernest Hemingway. The department also produces reds and whites under the Costières de Nîmes and Duché d’Uzès AOCs, showcasing a blend of Mediterranean climate and Rhône varietals such as Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Viognier. Alexandre Vuillemin, a highly regarded French cartographer of the 19th century, was known for his clear yet decorative maps. His works with Migeon often included informative and picturesque features that made geography accessible and engaging to a broader audience. Condition summary: Very good condition with light age toning at the edges and a few minor foxing marks. The engraved detail remains sharp and the hand coloring is clean and well-preserved. Framing tips: Frame this map in a natural walnut or classic gold frame to enhance the historic charm. A warm ivory or pale terracotta mat will complement the orange border and Mediterranean tone of the subject. UV-protective glass is recommended for conservation.
