Description

M, BOUGUEREAU, MAP OF SOUTHERN FRANCE, WITH TITLE : LE DAULPHINE LANGUEDOC GASCOIGNE PROVENCE ET XAINTONGE , BY MAURICE BOUGUEREAU [OR BOUGERAU], TOURS.[ON MAP : MAURICII BOUGUEREALDI , CAESARODUNI TURONUM]
Maurice Bouguereau was a French printer, bookseller, cartographer and publisher, who worked in Tours. From 1588 to 1596 his address was there in the Rue de la Scellerie. His most important work was his atlas, 'Le Theater Francoys', published by him in Tours in 1594. The atlas was the first national atlas of France and thus a milestone in the history of French cartography.

The commission for the atlas was given to him by Henry IV (1553-1610), who at that time was fighting for the unification of the Kingdom of France and wanted to demonstrate his power and greatness with this publication. This was particularly emphasised with a portrait of the King in the atlas, which was depicted along with a general map of France; sometimes a sonnet was printed in place of the card under the portrait.
'Le Theater Francoys' contained 14 regional maps and three general maps of France, older and more recent works by various cartographers, which Maurice Bouguereau had compiled and edited. The older regional maps were by Gerhard Mercator (1512-1594) and Gérard de Jode (1509-1591), Jean Temporal and Jean Fayen (1530-1616).
The general maps were from Guillaume Postel (1510-1581), Jean Jolivet (1545-1569) and Peter Plancius (1552-1622).

Condition / Coloring
We indicate the condition of each item and use our unnique HiBCoR grading system in which four key items determine a map's value: Historical Importance, Beauty, Condition/Coloring and Rarity.
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.

We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century, then "colored", or "attractive colors" will be used.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
