Cartographer: Victor Levasseur (French, 1800-1870). Printer: Joseph Rose Lemercier (French, 1803-1887). "Amerique Septentrionale" - steel engraving with hand coloring. Issued in Paris, ca. 1845. A classic Levasseur map from the Atlas Universel Ilustre Map of North America, created following the Louisiana Purchase and prior to the statehood of Texas. The map is situated in the center and highlighted with coloring. In addition, it is surrounded by stunning vignettes of native flora and fauna as well as a meeting of a European with indigenous peoples created by artist Raimond Bonheur (French, b. 1796) who was the father of Rosa Bonheur (French, 1822-1899). The map also includes a description of the populations of various regions as well as a description of the decorative imagery, both in French - decorated with a central image of a female allegorical figure symbolizing America who leans on a bale of cotton surrounded by pineapples and other fruits, and raises her left hand to pet a large dog beside her. Size: 13.75" L x 21.125" W (34.9 cm x 53.7 cm)
