Description: A large antique map of "Dept. Du Var" located on the French Mediterranean published by Victor Levasseur (see below) taken from his "Atlas National" printed in Paris in 1856 (see frontispiece not included) This is one of the most decorative atlases ever published with each map surrounded by engraved images of local scenes, events, people and indigenous animals. A chart of statistics, celebrities, and local commerce typically add to their interest In this case the map is centered around St. Tropez extending from Toulon in the West to Nice in the East - and embellished with scenes of local agricultural produce as well as portraits of celebrities associated with the area. Original outline hand coloring to each of the sub-regions. Good condition but with some minor age toning and spotting to the borders - see scans. Central fold as published. Page size 20 x 14.5 inches - map size 17 x 12 inches This is an original antique map guaranteed to be of the period described and not a later reproduction - because of their decorative attraction many Levasseur maps listed on Ebay are modern reproductions.
