Description:
This hand colored map is a steel plate engraving, dating to 1845 by the important French mapmaker Vuillemin. It is a representation of the Oran province of Algeria. Vuillemin maps are known for the beautiful engravings that decorate their borders and margins. The particular map depicts the elaborate scenes from life in Algeria. Political boundaries as well as major states, territories, and counties are carefully labeled. All major cities, bodies of water, rivers, mountains, islands, and sub regions are also labeled and defined in vivid full color. Minor foxing, otherwise very good condition.Maps are great gifts and perfect decorative additions to any home or office. They are compelling objects that instantly grab peoples attention and transport them to a different time and place. Owning an antique map is much like owning a window into the past.
