About the Item
A detailed description of the 'Carte de France divisée en 83 Departements (..)', an antique map circa 1790, along with information about its publishers, Covens & Mortier:
**Title**: 'Carte de France divisée en 83 Departements (..)'
**Date**: Circa 1790
**Description**: This large map of France, notable for its division into 83 departments, is a significant historical artifact from the late 18th century. It reflects the administrative changes in France that followed the French Revolution, which reorganized the country into departments from the previous provincial structure. The map is extended with text on both sides, providing additional context and detail about the regions depicted. This feature enhances its value as both a cartographic and educational resource.
**Artists and Engravers**: The map was produced by Covens & Mortier, a renowned Dutch publishing firm known for its extensive and successful history in map publishing. The firm was established by Pierre Mortier the Elder (1661-1711), who initially obtained the privilege to distribute the works of French geographers in the Netherlands. After Pierre's widow managed the business for several years, Cornelis Mortier took over in 1719. In 1721, Cornelis forged a partnership with Johannes Covens, who had married Cornelis’ sister, leading to the creation of the Covens & Mortier name. This partnership continued through various family successors, including Johannes Covens II and later Cornelis (son of Johannes Covens II), who integrated Petrus Mortier IV (the great-grandson of Petrus Mortier I) back into the business. In 1794, the company was renamed Mortier, Covens & Zoon, reflecting its enduring legacy and family lineage in the field of map publishing.
**Significance**: The map is a testament to the skill and artistry of Covens & Mortier, showcasing their ability to blend accurate geographic information with detailed and aesthetically pleasing design. As a historical document, it provides insights into the geographical understanding of France during a pivotal period in its history. The map's large format, detailed text, and division into departments make it a valuable resource for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of cartography.
