About the Item
Map of Haute-Garonne France with Toulouse and Garonne River by Vuillemin, 19th c
Description:
This finely engraved 19th-century map of the department of Haute-Garonne, located in southwestern France, is part of Alexandre Vuillemin’s *Nouvel Atlas Illustré*, published in Paris by Migeon. The map presents a detailed view of the region’s topography and settlements, enriched by charming vignettes and portraits that highlight its cultural and historical importance.
Haute-Garonne is situated in the Occitanie region and is named after the Garonne River, which flows through the department’s capital, Toulouse. The map displays the area’s borders in soft hand-applied pink, and meticulously marks rivers, roads, and towns. Toulouse is prominently featured at the center, reflecting its status as the economic and cultural heart of the department.
The map is visually enriched with several artistic details. At the lower right, an attractive vignette shows the city of Toulouse with the Garonne River and a stone bridge—likely the Pont Neuf—connecting the historic parts of the city. At the top right, a portrait of the Abbé Sicard, a notable educator and pioneer in teaching the deaf, pays homage to one of the region’s historical figures. On the left side, a costumed couple with an ox—representing regional dress and agricultural heritage—adds a folkloric touch. The department's coat of arms is also included, further underscoring its civic identity.
Haute-Garonne is part of the greater Sud-Ouest wine region of France. Though better known today for its high-tech industry centered in Toulouse, the department still has a presence in viticulture. Local wines fall under the Comté Tolosan IGP label, and grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Tannat are grown in nearby areas. The region’s climate—characterized by warm summers and cool winters—supports a variety of wine styles, from red to white and rosé.
Alexandre Vuillemin was a noted 19th-century French cartographer who brought artistry and clarity to geographical publishing. His maps, engraved with great precision and often accompanied by cultural illustrations, were widely admired and collected. Publisher Migeon specialized in quality illustrated atlases that served both educational and decorative purposes.
Condition summary:
Very good condition with mild age toning and a few faint foxing spots near the edges. The engraved detail is crisp and the hand coloring remains clean and vivid.
Framing tips:
Best displayed in a natural wood or black frame to enhance the contrast of the engraving. A cream or soft rose-tinted mat will pair well with the pink border. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the fine detail and coloring.
