After 1870 - A. Batault, Beaune - Second printing of the ‘de choix’ issue
A magnificent, large, rare and fine lithographed map of the vineyards producing the great Burgundy wines as classified in 1861 for each commune of the Arrondissement of Beaune according to the merit of the products under the guidance of the Comité d'Agriculture de l'Arrondissement de Beaune, and for the Arrondissement of Dijon by a Society of Winegrowers. Drawn by M. L. Bonnamas.
Over 3 metres (10 feet) in length. Currently folded into a bespoke French binding, but can be simply removed from the modern archival tissue attachments for mounting as three sheets or one continuous map.
This is the second printing of the 1861 deluxe ‘de choix’ issue which was produced in small numbers (scale 1/20,0000, three sheets (125.5x53cm; 125.5x53cm; 65x5cm / plates 112x36cm; 112x36cn; 50cmx36cm with Larrey extending approx. 4cm outside of the standard border)). Henri Poisot dates this printing as beginning from late 1870, early 1871, with the main road indicated as "route Nationale", which was changed from the Napoleonic "route Impériale" used in the earlier printings. The binding label gives a date of 1913, but this is actually difficult to confirm, as there is little further bibliography to add to Poisot.
Provenance:- Small stamp of Librairie A. Cretin-Pellion, Beaune, to the third sheet. Later from the wine collection of Jean-Luc Chagnon with his stamp ‘JLC Bibliotheque’ to the upper edge of front pastedown.
