Antique Map of Landes, France by Vuillemin, 19th Century
This fine 19th-century engraved map depicts the département of Landes in southwestern France, engraved by Alexandre Vuillemin. The map shows towns, rivers, and main roads, with departmental boundaries highlighted in original hand color.
The decorative framework includes an oval portrait of Théophile de Bordeu (1722–1776), the physician and philosopher born in Mont-de-Marsan, a coat of arms, and a vignette view of Mont-de-Marsan, the departmental capital, complete with bridge and church. The embellishments reflect the region’s cultural and historical character.
The Landes, part of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, is renowned for its vast pine forests, sandy coastline along the Atlantic, and traditional culture, including gastronomy and folk festivals. The map captures both the geography and the spirit of the département in the Romantic cartographic style of the mid-19th century.
Alexandre Vuillemin (1812–1880) was a prolific French cartographer known for his atlas maps, where geography was paired with decorative artistry. His series of French départements remains highly collectible for its blend of accuracy and ornamentation.
