For this version, the publisher has chosen to reproduce a deluxe copy, the so-called \"The Queen's <\/em>preserved in the reserves of the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France, the finest and clearest version of this map. \"These maps were originally engraved on copper plates (the first by the King's geographer in Paris, Joseph-Dominique Seguin) and then printed in black and white. For this version, each sheet was enhanced with watercolour and then cut into 21 rectangles, which were then glued to jute canvas so that they could be folded up and transported easily.<\/em>explains publisher Th\u00e9odore Lillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An invitation to travel through 18th-century France<\/h2>\n\n\n

The first detailed representation of the whole of the kingdom of France, the Cassini map - or the Cassini map to be precise - is the result of the work of four generations of astronomers, mathematicians, topographers, draughtsmen and engravers. In all, 181 sheets were assembled to form a picture more than eleven metres wide and twelve metres high. Publication began under Louis XV, but it was his grandfather, Louis XIV, who initiated it by creating the Acad\u00e9mie des Sciences, which commissioned work in astronomy and geodesy.<\/p>\n\n\n

This exceptional work, conceived as an art book, is intended primarily for museums, major universities and international libraries, as well as collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
