Europe Divided into Principal States by Jean Denis Janvier, Paris, 1782

About the Item

This is a historical map of Europe titled "L'Europe divisee en ses Principaux Etats," created by Jean Denis Janvier in 1782. This beautiful map depicts the political boundaries and principal states of Europe during the turbulent period between the Seven Years War (1756–1763) and the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). It provides a glimpse into the geopolitical landscape of the continent at a time marked by shifting alliances and emerging conflicts. The map is highlighted with original hand-coloring, making it a visually attractive representation of the various European states of that time. The decorative cartouche is a hallmark of 18th-century cartographic style, adding an elegant artistic element to the historical value of the map. Published by Jean Lattré, an important Parisian bookseller and engraver active in the 18th century, this map is a testament to the intricate collaboration among notable French and European cartographers. Lattré worked closely with other influential figures, including Bonne, Delamarche, and William Faden. He was known for defending his work against plagiarism, a widespread issue during the period. This map is not only a valuable artifact for its depiction of Europe, but also a product of Lattré’s dedicated effort to maintain authenticity and originality in cartography.
