A rare French document, a century-old work by a well-known geographer in the 19th century, the 1844 edition of the Bretagne landscape engraving road map
Before the 15th century, Bretagne was a completely independent principality, located between France and England. In 1499, the duchess of the Bretagne principality married King Louis XII of France. After that, Brittany lost its autonomy. In 1532, the Duchy of Brittany officially became part of France.
France During the French Revolution in 1790, Bretagne was divided into five provinces. In 1956, the French government established a new administrative unit: a region (Région). Each region is composed of several provinces. However, after being planned as a region, the original Bretagne lost one of its provinces. At that time, many Bretons were dissatisfied with this and believed that the province should return to Bretagne.
This map is a rare map that preserves the original full view of the Grand Duchy of Bretagne. It was written by the famous geographer Charle, Jean Baptiste-Louis (1800 to 1850) in the 19th century. The precious map data has been scanned and included in the collection of the French National Library, but The National Library of France collects maps that were reprinted in 1866, and this antique map was published in 1844, 180 years ago. It was also a map published during Charles's lifetime, which makes it even more precious.
This map is very exciting. In addition to the complete map route of the original Grand Duchy of Bretagne, there are also prints of various beautiful scenic spots next to it. It is worth framing and collecting. The back of the map is covered with linen, so it can also be folded and stored, which is very convenient.
