33 Ambroise Tardieu (1788–1841) – Map of Syria – Copperplate Engraving – c. 1825
This copperplate map by Ambroise Tardieu presents a detailed topographical rendering of historical Syria, extending from modern-day Lebanon and coastal Palestine to the Syrian interior and the fringes of Arabia. The map features mountainous regions, rivers, coastal cities such as Tripoli, Beirut, and Jaffa, and ancient inland towns like Damascus and Baalbek. Elevation is depicted using shaded relief, and the composition balances classical geography with contemporary 19th-century French cartographic precision. The map likely formed part of a geographical or historical atlas focused on the Near East.
Ambroise Tardieu (1788–1841) was a prominent French cartographer and engraver, celebrated for his educational and scientific contributions to early 19th-century mapmaking. His finely executed engravings featured in atlases, travel accounts, and historical surveys, reflecting both aesthetic refinement and technical rigor.
