Description

This ornate 1852 engraved map by Victor Levasseur depicts the Department of Oise in northern France, surrounded by elaborate Baroque-style decorative borders featuring allegorical figures, a deer-antler cartouche, agricultural implements, a barrel, and portrait medallions of notable figures. The map details roads, rivers, towns, and administrative boundaries with delicate hand-applied color highlighting, rendered in the style typical of Levasseur's celebrated 'Atlas National Illustré.' Oise is a department located in the Hauts-de-France region, north of Paris, historically known for the palace city of Compiègne and the forests that define its landscape.
