About the Item
Antique Map of Lozère, France – Vuillemin
Levasseur, Mid-19th Century
This finely detailed map of the department of Lozère in southern France was created by Alexandre Vuillemin and engraved by Levasseur, as part of the mid-19th century series La France. It presents a rich and decorative composition, combining geographic precision with artistic flourishes.
The map outlines the department in yellow, showing its rivers, towns, villages, and road networks, with elevations subtly rendered to reflect the mountainous terrain of the Cévennes. The vignette scenes add cultural depth: a rural figure in traditional attire, a portrait of Chaptal (chemist and statesman born in Saint-Pierre-de-Nogaret), the Pont Gothique, and pastoral scenery including sheep grazing.
The area is especially known for its natural beauty, chestnut forests, and historical isolation, making this map a valuable reference for collectors, historians, and Francophiles.
