France Map 1757 – Southern Provinces by Isaak Tirion in Dutch Engraving
This original copperplate engraving published in 1757 by Isaak Tirion in Amsterdam presents a highly detailed and accurate map of southern France, titled *Nieuwe en Naaukeurige Kaart van het Zuidelyk Gedeelte van Frankryk*. Created during the Age of Enlightenment, this map reflects the Dutch tradition of precise geographical scholarship and decorative cartography.
Covering the entirety of southern France from the Atlantic coast at Bordeaux and Bayonne to the Mediterranean coastline including Marseille, Toulon, and the Gulf of Lyon, this map is rich in topographic and political detail. It shows the provincial divisions, major towns and cities, rivers, and mountainous regions with remarkable clarity. The coverage stretches from the Pyrenees and the Spanish border in the southwest through the Rhône Valley and into Dauphiné and Provence in the southeast.
The title cartouche in the lower left is printed in Dutch and includes a dedication to the geographical authorities of the era, while referencing the work of the French Academy. This indicates that the map was informed by the most reliable sources of its time, ensuring both scholarly precision and contemporary relevance.
Isaak Tirion (1705–1765) was a noted Dutch publisher and cartographer whose works were widely respected for their clarity and accuracy. His maps appeared in his landmark atlases such as the *Hedendaagsche Historie* and the *Nieuwe en Beknopte Hand-Atlas*. This map is a fine example of his style, emphasizing readability and elegant engraving.
