Victor Levasseur was a French cartographer widely known for his distinctive decorative style. Produced numerous maps more admired for the artistic content of the scenes and data surrounding the map than for the detail of the map.

He is most famous for his Atlas National Illustré des 86 Départements et des Possessions de La France, a large decorative atlas of France, including his Planisphere and five important continental maps. Levasseur’s maps are distinctive for their wide decorative margins containing elaborate depictions of the scenery, peoples, and trade goods of the areas he mapped. Levasseur maps are also known to offer a wealth of statistical data. Until recently, very few Levasseur Atlases migrated out of France where they were mostly used in public libraries and town halls.

Each map has highly decorated borders which relate to the region depicted. The vignette images are meticulous in design and of an extremely high quality, both in accuracy and composition.
The vignettes themselves illustrate events and lifestyles of those who live in the area shown and provide a certain amount of historical information. However, on many of the maps there is also textual information which when translated from the original French, verifies the images with facts and statistics.

This is an original antique, NOT a reproduction and guaranteed to be over 160 years old.
