About the Item
This original antique map titled "Le Gouvernement de l'Isle de France" represents the Île-de-France region, which historically was one of the provinces of France and contained the city of Paris and its surrounding areas. This region was the seat of French royalty and government and served as the cultural and political heart of France.
Île-de-France, or Isle of France, is a central region that historically encompassed a much larger area than the modern administrative region of the same name. It included Paris and its immediate vicinity, extending to include areas that were under the direct influence and control of the kings of France.
It is a historic map from "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" by Willem Blaeu, based in Amsterdam. "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" is considered one of the greatest atlases of the 17th century, created during the Golden Age of Dutch cartography.
Willem Blaeu was a renowned Dutch cartographer, atlas maker, and publisher, and his works are known for their accuracy and beautiful decorative elements.
The cartouches, ornate border designs, and the detailed rendering of the coat of arms reflect the high artistic standards of the time and the importance of the Île-de-France region. The map also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the geography and political boundaries of the period.
