EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, hailing from the early 1910s, showcases the French Department of Charente - No. 16. The intricately detailed chart highlights the various geographical features, towns, and villages that make up this historic region in southwestern France. Of particular note are the inset illustrations that adorn the map. The first, situated in the lower right corner, depicts the Paper Production Industry in La Rochefoucauld. This thriving industry was a significant contributor to the region's economy during this time, with La Rochefoucauld being renowned for its high-quality paper production. The second inset, located in the upper left corner, showcases the produce and manufactured goods from Angouleme. The region was famous for its diverse agricultural output, including fruits, vegetables, and grains. Angouleme was also known for its manufacturing sector, with industries such as textiles, metalworking, and food processing playing a prominent role. An exquisite portrait of King Francis I of France (1494-1547) from the Angouleme branch of the House of Valois graces the center of the map. King Francis I was a significant figure in French history, known for his patronage of the arts and his military campaigns. The House of Valois was a powerful and influential family during this period, with the Angouleme branch playing an essential role in the region's governance. The map also features various other points of interest, such as the imposing Chateau de la Rochefoucauld, the stunning Angouleme Cathedral, and the famous Cognac region. Additionally, the map includes illustrations of local produce and goods, such as cannon, pate, safran, and cathedral. This beautiful map print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of the French Department of Charente during the early 1900s.
