Title: Antique Map of France, 1903, with Inset of Paris and Corsica
Description:
This antique map, titled "France," was engraved and published in 1903 by the renowned W.
A.K. Johnston firm in Edinburgh and London. It offers a comprehensive and meticulously detailed view of France at the turn of the 20th century, capturing both its diverse geography and its political organization.
The map features an intricate network of departments, with boundaries delicately shaded in pastel greens, pinks, yellows, and blues, making each region stand out with subtle elegance. Cities, towns, rivers, and mountain ranges are finely rendered, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and precision that Johnston maps are known for.
A standout feature of this map is its inset detailing the "Environs of Paris," providing an in-depth view of the French capital and its surrounding area. Another inset focuses on the island of Corsica, ensuring no part of the French Republic is left undocumented. The clear, crisp typography and fine linework highlight the map’s quality, while the soft color palette adds a refined aesthetic that complements both modern and traditional interiors.
For collectors and enthusiasts, this map offers more than geographic data—it’s a snapshot of France at a time when the country was a leading European power with a rich cultural and political heritage. It also reflects a period of modernization, with railways connecting even the remotest parts of the nation.
Condition report:
The map is in very good antique condition, with minimal foxing and light edge toning typical for its age. The colors remain vibrant and the paper is stable and well-preserved.
Framing tips:
A dark wooden frame, such as walnut or mahogany, will add warmth and sophistication to this map. Use a cream or off-white matting to highlight the soft pastel colors and intricate detail, making this a refined and elegant focal point in any room or office.
