Description
This scarce map originates from: 'Statistique generale et particuliere de la France et de ses colonies..., par une Societe de gens de lettres et de savans. Collection de 19 tableaux et 9 grandes cartes enluminees, dessinees par J. H. Poirson, dirigees et gravees en taille-douce par J. B. P. Tardieu l'aine, B. Tardieu, et autres artistes.', by Pierre-Etienne Herbin de Halle, ed. P. F. Buisson, 1803-1804. (transl.: General and particular statistics of France and its colonies...) Rare.
Artists and Engravers: Cartographer: Jean-Baptiste Poirson (1761-1831) was a renowned French cartographer active between 1790 and 1830. Engraver: Jean Baptiste Pierre Tardieu l'Aine.
After studying mathematics and geography, Poirson became an engineer and collaborator of Edme Mentelle. We owe to his efforts many scientific elaborated maps, usually including the latest developments in geography. He also designed celestial and terrestrial globes, drawn and painted by hand.
Poirson differs from previous cartographers by his restitutions of physical, hydrographic, geological, topographic, road, territorial, administrative and statistical geography.
Between 1786 and 1789, he designed a terrestrial globe intended for the instruction of the Dauphin for Louis XVI and, between 1803 and 1811, established one for Napoleon Bonaparte.
Several explorers enlisted his services to transcribe their travel discoveries such as Alexandre de Humboldt, Conrad Malte-Brun, François-Raymond-Joseph de Pons or Jean-Baptiste-Léonard Durand.
In 1792, he published the Atlas maps of the 83 French departments. In 1821, he published his New Elementary Geography by Requests and Responses, divided into lessons and accompanied by an atlas of 18 blank maps, written and colored for the use of boarding houses, which would then be used at length in schools.
