About the Item
Title: 18th-Century Map of the Swiss Confederation by Robert de Vaugondy
Description: This detailed 18th-century map by Gilles Robert de Vaugondy presents the Swiss Confederation, including its 13 cantons, allied territories, and subject lands during the Old Swiss Confederacy period.
The map provides a comprehensive view of the political landscape before the Napoleonic Wars, with cantonal borders highlighted in hand-coloring. Major cities such as Zurich, Bern, Geneva, and Lucerne are clearly marked, alongside significant Alpine passes, lakes, and rivers that played a crucial role in trade and military strategy.
The elaborate cartouche, adorned with Swiss heraldic symbols and military paraphernalia, reflects the confederation’s independence and martial history. The map also includes a legend explaining the alliances of the Swiss cantons with neighboring regions such as the Duchy of Savoy and the Holy Roman Empire.
Condition: The map is in very good condition, with sharp engraving and well-preserved hand-coloring. There is a visible centerfold, typical of antique maps, with minor creases and slight toning along the margins. No significant tears or stains, making this a highly collectible and display-worthy piece.
Framing tips: A classic wood or gilded frame enhances the historical charm of this map. Use acid-free matting and UV-resistant glass to protect against light exposure and aging. A double-matting approach, with a neutral inner border, can help emphasize the detailed cartography. Consider museum-grade framing to ensure long-term preservation.
