EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic "Map of the regions and districts of France, known as the Carte de Necker". Created in 1789 by an anonymous French School artist, this coloured engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of 18th century France. The map is housed at the Centre Historique des Archives Nationales in Paris, France. The Carte de Necker was named after Jacques Necker, a prominent Swiss-born politician who served as finance minister under Louis XVI. This intricate map depicts the generalities and bailiwicks of France during that time period. With its detailed illustrations and precise cartographic representation, it provides valuable insights into how administrative divisions were organized within the country. Neatly engraved lines demarcate provinces while vibrant colors bring life to each region. As viewers explore this piece, they are transported back to an era when maps were not only functional tools but also works of art. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this historical gem from their archives for all to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of both Jacques Necker's influence on French politics and his lasting legacy as a financier and statesman. Displayed here with pride, this print invites us to delve deeper into history and marvel at the craftsmanship that went into creating such an important document from centuries past.
