A propos de cet article

Very good. Minor toning along original centerfold. Minor spotting at places. Original platemark visible. Minor overall toning. Size 14.5 x 20.5 Inches. A beautifully detailed map of the Upper and Lower Rhine and Westphalia regions of Germany by the French Cartographer Louis Brion de la Tour. The map covers from the North Sea south to France and east to Upper Saxony. The 'circles' of Germany are the 'imperial circles,' administrative units created for tax and defense purposes by the Holy Roman Empire, of which these areas were a part. The Napoleonic Wars would, of course, dissolve the Holy Roman Empire and lead to the consolidation of Germany in 1871. The map outlines the feudal Duchies and Counties of Westphalia as they were before being joined with other Prussian states in 'The Kingdom of Westphalia,' briefly a French vassal state under Napoleon from 1807-1816. The area was made famous in 1648 when the 'Peace of Westphalia' was signed in Munster and Osnabruck, ending the Thirty Years' War. The region of Upper and Lower Rhine, also known as Rhineland-Palatinate, is known for its fine Riesling wines and is the world leader in sparkling wines. A beautifully engraved title cartouche adorns the top left quadrant of the map. To the left and right of the map are paste downs of French text with remarks and description of the map. Surrounding the whole is an elaborate decorative border featuring floral arrangements, surveying tools, elaborate baroque scalloping, and a winged globe. This map was issued as plate no. 32 in the most deluxe edition of Desnos’ 1786 Atlas General Methodique et Elementaire, Pour l’Etude de la Geographie et de l’Histoire Moderne .
