Parties Orientale du Gouvernement General de languedoc. - Antique Map from 1742

Genuine antique
dated:

1742

Description:

Good strong impression of this map of the Languedoc region in Southern France, one of the largest wine-producing regions in the country. The lower part of the map shows the Gulf de Lion in the south with the port city of Marseilles in the lower right. 

Mapmaker:

Guillaume Delisle (1675-1726)

Leading French cartographer of the C18th who was reknown for the accuracy of his maps.

He studied under Jean Cassini and from an early age showed his talent. At the age of 27 Delisle was admitted to the Academie Royale des Sciences and by 1718 he had been made the Royal Geographer. His maps reflect his scientific approach to map making by including the most up to date cartographic information as well as the use of new astronomical information. Where he was unable to verify information conclusively, he would note the fact on his maps.
