5045 Zacharie Chatelain – Map of Switzerland / La Suisse – Engraving (1743)
This delicately engraved map titled La Suisse offers a detailed depiction of 18th-century Switzerland, showing its cantons, towns, rivers, and mountain ranges. Based on cartographic traditions established by French geographers like Nicolas Sanson and updated in Amsterdam by the Chatelain family, the map includes key regions such as Berne, Zürich, Valais, Grisons, and Geneva. Its compact format and fine engraving reflect the stylistic precision typical of Chatelain’s historical and geographical publications.
This plate comes from Introduction à l’Histoire Générale et Politique de l’Univers, a comprehensive atlas compiled by Bruzen de la Martinière and published by Zacharie Chatelain in Amsterdam in 1743. These maps were intended as educational tools and were widely circulated in Enlightenment-era Europe.
