Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville (1697–1782) – Hand-Colored Engraved Map of Gallia Antiqua – "Gallia Antiqua: Roman Gaul Provinces"
This exceptional antique map, titled "Gallia Antiqua", was created by Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville and published posthumously in 1794. It meticulously depicts the Roman provinces of ancient Gaul, providing a detailed view of the region’s political divisions, major cities, and road networks as they existed during the Roman Empire. The map reflects D’Anville’s dedication to historical accuracy, drawing from classical sources to reconstruct the geography of Narbonensis, Aquitania, Belgica, and Germania, among others.Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville was a leading 18th-century French cartographer, renowned for his rigorous approach to mapmaking. He prioritized precision by cross-referencing historical texts with contemporary geographical knowledge, rejecting speculative elements common in earlier maps. His legacy influenced both historical and modern cartography, setting new standards in geographical scholarship.Artist or Maker:Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'AnvilleMedium:Hand-Colored Engraving on PaperDate:1760Dimensions:45 cm × 58 cmCondition Description:This work is in good condition overall.
