About the Item

Antique Map of Europe – Physical Relief Map by Hachette, circa 1883 Description: This antique map titled “Europe Physique” was published by Hachette in Paris around 1883 and originates from their educational “Atlas en relief.” The map illustrates the physical geography of Europe with hypsometric tinting, highlighting elevation variations across the continent. Depicted are major mountain ranges such as the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, Balkans, and Ural Mountains, using brown tones for higher elevations and green for lowlands and plains. Rivers, lakes, and key coastal features are clearly marked, including the Mediterranean, North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Atlantic coasts. The relief shading provides a vivid sense of Europe’s topography, making it ideal for both geographical study and decorative display. At the lower margin is the publication detail: “E. Hachette, Editeur, 79, Rue Serpente, à Paris.” The title “Europe Physique” is placed at the top, with a colour key explaining altitude ranges to the left. This map reflects the high cartographic standards of late 19th-century French educational atlases, created to enhance geographical understanding in schools and universities. Condition: Good condition with original pastel colouring. Minor foxing in the wide margins and light toning consistent with age. The printed area remains clean and well-preserved. Framing tip: This physical map of Europe will look excellent when float-mounted in a black or dark wood frame to accentuate the earthy colour palette. It is a fine addition to antique map collections, office libraries, or classical study walls, especially for collectors interested in educational cartography and 19th-century European history.
