This decorative 19th-century French map of the British Isles was created by Gilles-Victor Monin and published in 1839. It shows the full extent of England, Scotland, and Ireland, with political boundaries and major cities clearly labeled, including Dublin, Belfast, Wexford, Carrick, Cork, Liverpool, Manchester, and Londres (London). The map is framed by an elegant decorative border and enriched with detailed topographical elements and pastel hand-colouring, reflecting the style of mid-19th-century French cartographic engraving.

Gilles-Victor Monin was a French geographer and map engraver active in the 1830s–1850s, known for his atlases and educational wall maps. His work often blended clarity of geographic detail with visual refinement, making his maps popular in both academic and decorative contexts. This particular map exemplifies his approach to accessible, precise, and elegantly presented geography.
