Possibility of dirt, various stains, folds...Originating from the antique province of Île-de-France, the department of Seine was created in 1790, at the same time as the modern administrative division of France was established. Its geographical evolution in the 19th century coincided with industrial expansion and the rise in Parisian demographics, establishing Paris, its prefecture, as the nerve center of France. The territory of the Seine department included Paris and its close suburbs, a cultural and socio-economic mosaic that only an antique map , like an imprint of a bygone era, could faithfully capture — a priceless object for the collector or lover of the department. The department's borders were surrounded by Seine-et-Oise to the north and west, the department of Seine-et-Marne to the east, and the department of Essonne to the south. On the borders of these were important cities such as Saint-Denis, burial place of the kings of France; Neuilly-sur-Seine, bastion of the Parisian elite; Boulogne-Billancourt, industrial and media center; Clichy, marked by its working-class identity; and Levallois-Perret, Asnières-sur-Seine, Colombes, Courbevoie, and Nanterre, cities that witnessed the urban transformation and expansion of the Parisian metropolis. Historical figures such as Jean Jaurès, who gave his name to many streets, or Edith Piaf, the Môme de Belleville, are inseparable from this territory. In the 19th century, the department was the beating heart of the Industrial Revolution in France, the showcase of the 1889 World's Fair, and the hotbed of political and social ideas that shaped the nation. To understand the importance of the Seine department in the 19th century is also to understand the evolution of France itself, which makes owning an antique map not only nostalgic but also educational, illuminating the complex web of history, geography, and culture that made this department the cradle of French modernity.Professional in the sale (and passion) of historical and geographical engravings, I will ship your purchase with the greatest care as I myself would like to receive it.
