About the Item

Antique Map of Champagne France by Johann Baptist Homann circa 1710 Hand-Colored This richly detailed antique map titled Tabula Geographica Campaniae Galliae depicts the historic province of Champagne in northeastern France. Created by the esteemed German cartographer Johann Baptist Homann in the early 18th century, this map provides a comprehensive view of the region’s political and geographical divisions. The hand-colored engraving highlights the distinct administrative areas, with major cities, towns, rivers, forests, and road networks meticulously represented. The map reflects Homann’s expertise in cartographic precision, combining artistic embellishment with scientific accuracy. A striking feature of this map is the elaborate title cartouche in the upper right corner, adorned with allegorical figures symbolizing the agricultural and viticultural wealth of the Champagne region. The map also includes two detailed city views in the upper left corner, showcasing panoramic perspectives of key urban centers such as Reims and Troyes. The finely engraved typography and clear demarcation of territories make this an invaluable historical document for scholars and collectors interested in early French cartography. Condition summary This antique map is in good condition, with vibrant original hand coloring that enhances the territorial divisions. The paper has developed a warm patina, characteristic of maps from this period. There is some age toning and minor foxing, particularly along the margins, which is typical for 18th-century prints. The edges exhibit slight wear, including small creases and minor tears that do not affect the main engraved area. The central fold remains visible, as expected for an atlas map, with no significant damage. The details and inscriptions remain crisp and legible, preserving the historical and aesthetic integrity of the piece. Framing tips To properly preserve and showcase this antique map, it is recommended to use archival-quality materials. UV-protective glass or acrylic will prevent fading of the hand coloring. Acid-free matting in neutral tones will enhance the clarity of the engraved details while protecting the paper from environmental damage. A period-appropriate wooden frame, either dark-stained or gilded, will complement the historical character of the map. Museum-grade mounting techniques should be employed to ensure the longevity of this unique cartographic work. This map makes an exceptional decorative and scholarly addition to a collection, offering historical insight into one of France’s most significant regions.
