This detailed historical map of France was engraved for the American edition of Lavoisne's Historical Atlas, published in Philadelphia by M. Carey & Son around 1820. Designed to illustrate the geopolitical layout of post-Napoleonic Europe, the central map reflects the territorial boundaries established by the Treaty of Paris in 1814, restoring France largely to its 1792 borders following the first abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte. Flanking the central map on both sides is extensive letterpress historical commentary detailing the political events leading to the Restoration, the reorganization of French departments, and the diplomatic adjustments negotiated among the Allied Powers. Below the map, a chronological reference table details significant battles, sieges, and military engagements from 1801 through 1815, cross-referencing locations marked by numbered flag symbols on the map face. Hand-colored outlines visually delineate the internal departments of France as well as neighboring regions including England, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the German Confederation, Switzerland, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and Spain. This map serves as an exceptional educational cartographic record of early 19th-century European diplomacy and military history.
