A large-scale 1836 map of Europe by Nicolas Maire, issued in the heady years of the early 19th century, when Europe, still reeling from the Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815), politically redefined itself. A Closer Look The map covers all of Europe, from… Spain and the British Isles to the Ural Mountains and from the Arctic to the Mediterranean. Inset city plans include Paris, London, Vienna, St. Petersburg, Constantinople, Rome, Naples, Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin, Warsaw, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. Publication History and Census This map was compiled in the early years of the Bourbon Restoration (1814 - 1830) by aspiring Ingenieur et Geographe du Roi , Nicolas Maire. It was engraved by Jean Baptiste Tardieu (1768 - 1837) and Jean-Baptiste-Marie Chamouin (1768 - 18xx), with the lettering engraved by Alphonse Pelicier (17xx - 18xx). The map was first issued in 1816, but we note subsequent issues by various French publishers throughout the first half of the 19th century, suggesting it was a successful and popular publication.
