About the Item
The 1876 map of French Guiana from the "Grand Atlas Départemental de la France de L'Algérie et des colonies" by H. Fisquet, published by A. Le Vasseur in Paris, is a significant piece in cartography.
**Title:** Map of French Guiana
**Artist/Cartographer/Engraver:** Librairie Abel Pilon
Cie; A. Le Vasseur
**Provenance:** "Grand Atlas Départemental de la France de L'Algérie et des colonies" by H. Fisquet; Published by A. Le Vasseur, Paris [Grand atlas départemental]
**Type:** Antique engraved map with original hand color
The map showcases French Guiana, a region known for its rich biodiversity and unique cultural heritage. It is an engraved piece, highlighting meticulous details and featuring original hand coloring, reflecting the artistry and precision of cartographers during the late 19th century.
Through delicate strokes and intricate lines, the map delineates the geography of French Guiana, encompassing its rivers, coastal boundaries, topographical features, and settlements. The original hand coloring enhances the visual appeal and provides distinction between various geographical elements, possibly differentiating forests, rivers, administrative boundaries, and settlements.
The "Grand Atlas Départemental" context suggests that this map was part of a larger atlas aiming to comprehensively cover the various regions and territories under French governance, including colonies like French Guiana and Algeria. This atlas aimed to provide detailed geographical, administrative, and possibly cultural information about these regions.
French Guiana, being an overseas department of France, holds historical significance due to its colonial past, vibrant cultural amalgamation, and unique ecosystem. Maps like this from the late 19th century serve as valuable historical artifacts, offering insights into the territorial representation, cartographic techniques, and the cultural and geopolitical context of that era.
The intricate details and the use of original hand coloring make this map not only a cartographic representation but also a piece of art, reflecting the craftsmanship and expertise of the engravers and cartographers involved in its creation.
