About the Item

Antique Map of Haute-Marne France by Vuillemin with Decorative Insets, 1840s This finely engraved and hand-colored map of Haute-Marne, a historical department in northeastern France, was produced by Alexandre Vuillemin and lithographed by A. Vallée around the 1840s. Published as part of the renowned mid-19th century French atlas series La France, it combines geographical detail with artistic flourishes. The map outlines departmental boundaries in color and is embellished with vignettes and scenes relevant to Haute-Marne. These include a portrait of Jean-Baptiste Drouet, the postmaster of Sainte-Menehould famous for recognizing and halting King Louis XVI during his failed flight to Varennes, and a charming city view of Langres, a historic fortified town. The lower left features an illustrated figure of a local citizen, adding a human touch to the cartography. The departmental coat of arms appears to the right, further emphasizing regional pride. Notable towns and locations shown (with significance): 1. Langres – fortified hilltop town, Roman walls 2. Chaumont – departmental capital, WWI US HQ 3.

The lightly applied hand coloring on borders and rivers accentuates its appeal without overwhelming the detail. Condition report: Very good condition. Wide margins with some light age toning, mostly around edges. Clean central area with no tears or repairs. No visible folding line, suggesting it was never bound. Slight foxing in the left margin, not affecting the image. Plate mark clearly visible. Framing tips: This map would benefit from a soft ivory mat with a narrow olive or sage green inner border to echo the light hand coloring. A thin walnut or antiqued gold wooden frame would provide a classic finish suitable for both traditional and modern interiors. Technique: Engraving with original hand coloring Maker: Alexandre Vuillemin, Paris, circa 1840s
