6630 Ambroise Tardieu - Plan of Environs de Coni – Copperplate engraving – 1822
This finely detailed copperplate map titled Plan des Environs de Coni depicts the strategic surroundings of the city of Coni (modern-day Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy). It was engraved by Ambroise Tardieu and published in 1822 as part of a series illustrating military campaigns. The map emphasizes fortifications, roads, and terrain, crucial for understanding the city's defensive position during various European conflicts, particularly in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The crisp linework and labeled topography reflect Tardieu’s technical precision and his role in documenting historical geography for both military and educational purposes.
Ambroise Tardieu (1788–1841) was a prominent French engraver, cartographer, and publisher active during the early 19th century. Nephew of Pierre François Tardieu, he produced a wide array of scientific, medical, and geographic engravings. His maps are known for their clarity, technical precision, and contribution to both educational and official cartographic publications in France.
