About the Item

Antique map titled 'Dépt. du Loiret'. Map of the French department of Loiret, France. Surrounding the city of Orleans, Loiret is considered the heart of France and is a registered Unesco World Heritage Site. This area of France is also part of the Loire Valley wine region, and is especially known for its production of Pinot Noirs and Gris Meuniers in the Orleans area. The map is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate both the natural beauty and trade richness of the land. There is a short textual history of the regions depicted on both the left and right sides of the map. This map originates from 'Atlas National de la France Illustree' published by V. Levasseur, circa 1852. Victor Levasseur (1800–1870) was a French cartographer widely known for his distinctive decorative style. He produced numerous maps more admired for the artistic content of the scenes and data surrounding the map than for the detail of the map. Victor Levasseur's "Atlas National Illustré" and "Atlas Universel Illustré" are among the last great decorative atlases published.
