Antique Department Map – Lot-et-Garonne, France by Levasseur, c.1850
This decorative and historically significant map of the French department Lot-et-Garonne was created by Victor Levasseur and published around 1850 in his renowned atlas “Atlas National Illustré des 86 Départements et des Possessions de la France.” Richly engraved and accented with fine hand coloring, the map offers a highly detailed depiction of the Lot-et-Garonne region in southwestern France, with its towns, roads, rivers, and railways illustrated with precision.
Levasseur’s work is celebrated not only for its geographical accuracy but also for the elaborate vignettes that surround each map. This particular sheet is embellished with charming allegorical and historical motifs: to the upper left is an engraving of the town of Miramont with its church and buildings, while portraits of notable figures—Bernard Palissy and Jacques de Romas—adorn the lower corners. A decorative coat of arms for the département also appears, enhancing the visual richness of the sheet.
Fine engraved detail shows the borders outlined in green and individual arrondissements distinguished by bold color lines. Rivers such as the Garonne and Lot meander through the central regions, and railway lines intersect the landscape, reflecting 19th-century infrastructural development.
This map is part of Levasseur’s famous series combining art, science, and national pride, offering both a useful reference and an engaging decorative piece. It is ideal for collectors of antique maps, French regional history, or 19th-century cartography.
Condition: Excellent original condition with wide margins. Slight age toning to edges, typical of antique paper. Plate mark visible. No tears or repairs.
Framing tip: A simple dark wood or walnut frame with a soft white mat would enhance the earthy tones of the engraving and highlight the green and colored borders, making this a striking addition to a study, hallway, or library wall.
Technique: Steel engraving with original hand color
Maker: Victor Levasseur, Paris, c.1850
