About the Item

Title: Antique Map of French Colonies – La France, 19th Century Description: This antique 19th-century map, titled La France, presents a detailed depiction of France’s overseas colonies, including territories in the Americas, Africa, and Oceania. The map is divided into four sections: - Saint Pierre and Miquelon (near Newfoundland, Canada), showing the small French territories in the Atlantic. - New Caledonia and the Marquesas Islands, featuring French possessions in the Pacific, including a scenic engraving of Nouméa. - French Guiana (Amérique Française), highlighting the colony’s geography along the northern coast of South America. - French African Islands, detailing islands such as Nosy Be, Nosy Komba, and Île Sainte-Marie near Madagascar. The map includes hand-colored elements, primarily in pink, to distinguish French territories. Additionally, decorative engravings, such as a coastal view of Nouméa and illustrations of indigenous wildlife, enhance its visual appeal. Produced by Migeon, a well-known 19th-century French cartographer, this map exemplifies France's colonial reach during the period. Condition Report: Paper Quality: Thick, high-quality 19th-century paper with natural aging. Engraving: Well-preserved with crisp detailing. Coloring: Original hand-coloring in pink remains vibrant. Margins: Wide margins with light age-toning and minor foxing spots. Overall Condition: Excellent for its age, with no major defects or tears. Framing Tips: Matting: Use a neutral acid-free mat to complement the soft tones of the aged paper. Glass: Museum-grade UV-protective glass to prevent further fading. Frame Style: A classic wooden frame with gold or dark brown accents will enhance the antique aesthetic. Mounting: Ensure archival mounting to preserve the integrity of the paper over time.
