Victor LEVASSEUR (1800-1870)
Old map of the Vosges, 1846
Original engraving enhanced with watercolor
Engraved by Laguillermie in Paris from the map drawn up by Levasseur
On strong paper approximately 35 x 52 cm
INFORMATION: Superb period engraving printed in 1846 in the Combette workshop in Paris. The illustrations of the department's places and traditions around the map were created by the painter Raymond Bonheur, father of the painter and sculptor Rosa Bonheur.
It should be noted that the district boundaries have been enhanced in color by hand (in the publisher's workshops) in order to highlight the administrative boundaries of the three districts , twenty-four cantons and the communes from the 1846 census.
Very good condition, possible small defects in the margins or at the edge of the sheet
