About the Item

Antique Map of the Eastern Hemisphere by Lapie, France, circa 1830 This finely engraved and hand-colored antique map, titled Hémisphère de l'ancien continent (Eastern Hemisphere), was published in France around 1830 and is attributed to the eminent French cartographer Pierre Lapie or his son Alexandre Émile Lapie. The map presents a hemispherical projection of the "Old World," encompassing Europe, Asia, Africa, and parts of Oceania, including Australia (here labeled "Nouvelle Hollande"). The map reflects a European perspective on world geography during the early 19th century, a time when colonial empires were expanding, and cartographic knowledge was rapidly advancing. Borders are delineated in delicate outline color, highlighting the major empires and regions of the era, including the Ottoman Empire, Persia, China, and British-controlled India. Europe is rendered with precision, while Africa’s interior is still marked by notable blank spaces, reflecting the limited European exploration of the continent at that time. Asia is boldly defined, with major regions such as Tartary, Siberia, Arabia, and Indostan labeled prominently. Southeast Asia includes well-documented island groups such as the Philippines, the Sunda Islands, and the Moluccas. Japan, labeled as "Japon," appears in a rudimentary but recognizable form. The mapping of Australia under the label "Nouvelle Hollande" reveals the transitional nomenclature before the widespread adoption of the name "Australia," suggesting a publication date prior to the 1840s. The southern polar regions, labeled as "Terres Australes Antarctiques," remain speculative, as Antarctica had not yet been fully explored or confirmed. The map also features geographic lines including the equator, tropics, and the polar circle, along with ocean names and wind directions. Published as part of an educational or geographical atlas series, this map is numbered “No. 5” in the upper left corner. The clarity of the engraving and the restrained yet elegant hand coloring make it a visually compelling artifact of Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment cartography. Condition report: Good condition with original hand color. Some scattered foxing mostly in the margins and a few faint spots within the image area. Wide margins and strong plate impression. No major tears or repairs. Framing tips: This map would benefit from an archival-quality mount with a soft cream or antique white mat to enhance the aged paper and subtle coloring. A simple gilt or black-and-gold neoclassical frame will complement its historical character. For best preservation, use UV-protective glazing.
