About the Item
Antique Map of French Guiana and Cayenne – Circa 1835
This rare 19th-century map of French Guiana, published around 1835, provides a detailed overview of the region, including the city of Cayenne and its surrounding geography. It was part of the Petit Atlas National, a collection of maps depicting French colonies. The map features three key sections:
- A general map of French Guiana, including the mouth of the Amazon River, showing territorial divisions and settlements.
- A detailed plan of the city of Cayenne, highlighting its streets and fortifications.
- A larger map of part of the Île de Cayenne, including the mouth of the Cayenne River.
The engraving was executed by Ambroise Tardieu, a prominent French cartographer, and published by Alexandre Aimé Blanchot. The map contains fine detailing and clear typography, making it an excellent representation of the colonial geography of French Guiana during the early 19th century.
