About the Item

This framed, hand colored map of France illustrates the departments during the Revolutionary period. The map reflects not only the now territory occupied by modern-day France but also the map shows Revolutionary France including the 13 short-lived departments of what is now Belgium, and six departments in what is today Piedmont, Italy. These six Piedmontese departments, plus the two departments of Savoy had constituted the continental part of the Kingdom of Sardinia until its defeat by Napoleon in 1796. What are today the areas of Savoie and Haute-Savoie were then known as "Mont Blance" and Leman, the French name for Lake Geneva. Savoy was returned to the Kingdom of Sardinia after the Congress of Vienna, but annexed again by France later in the 19th century. We have used glare reducing Museum Glass and archival matting and backing in the framing. Map of Napoleon's Empire frame has an antiqued gold finish on an embellished swan shape frame, gold French line on cotton rag mat.
