Map of French Colonies in the Americas: St. Martin, French Guiana and St. Pierre
About the Item
This is an intricately detailed map from 1852 titled *Colonies Françaises en Amérique*, depicting several key French colonies in the Americas.
The map focuses on regions such as French Guyana, St. Martin, and the islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon. Surrounding the central map are smaller cartographic sections, along with detailed insets of each area. The map also includes sections of text that provide important statistical and historical information regarding the colonies, such as economic and political context.
The lower portion of the map features an illustrative vignette of a local scene, depicting tropical plants, animals, and a figure seated among barrels and goods, highlighting the trade and agriculture of the regions. This map is a part of a series known for combining geographic precision with artistic engraving, and it serves as both a valuable historical record and an example of mid-19th century French colonial expansion in the Americas. Produced under the direction of the esteemed cartographer V. Levasseur, this print offers insight into France’s territorial holdings during this period.

By Pierre François Tardieu
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
1812 "United States of Nth America -- Carte des Etats-Unis De L'Amerique Septentrionale" Two-Sheet Map by Tardieu
This attractive map, published in Paris in 1812, is one of the most rare large format maps from the period. It features a view of the East Coast of the U.S. from Maryland to just below South Carolina. Additionally, Ellicott’s plan for the City of Washington D.C. is included at the top right and an illustration of Niagara Falls is shown at the bottom right with a description in both French and English. This extremely detailed map not only depicts the mountainous regions of the southeastern U.S., but also includes names of regions, rivers, and towns.
Based on the first state of Arrowsmith’s 4-sheet map of the United States, this map is completely engraved by Tardieu in Paris and showcases high quality engravings. This detailed map of the recently independent United States includes one of the largest and earliest examples of the Ellicott plan of Washington DC.
The artist, Pierre François Tardieu (PF Tardieu) was a very well-known map engraver, geographer, and illustrator. Awarded a bronze medal by King Louis-Phillipe for the accuracy and beauty of his map-making, Tardieu produced many fine works including maps of Louisiana...
