Exhibit a complete collection of authentic Cassini Maps
Imagine for a moment a window onto the past opening before your eyes, a work that is both scientific and artistic in which each line bears witness to meticulous know-how and a vision of the world that is now a thing of the past.
Time, passion and luck have allowed me to acquire a complete set of the Cassini Map.
The 18th century
The Cassini Map, an 18th-century masterpiece, embodies the Cassini family's ambition to produce an accurate geographical representation of the Kingdom of France. Initiated by Jean-Dominique Cassini, this undertaking spanned several generations, with each descendant contributing to the development of this revolutionary map.
More than 140 m2
Once unfolded and assembled, the 181 sheets reveal a majestic representation of France spanning 12 metres by 12 metres, a work of spectacular scale that is more than double the dimensions of Veronese's famous and monumental Wedding at Cana .
A magnificent result
To exhibit such a collection is to share and educate in a unique and grandiose way. It is to highlight French know-how, our history and our heritage.
I am available to discuss this with you!
