About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Asie'. Map of the Asian continent, with an illustration of the porcelain tower at Nanjing, China. Migeon's Geographie Universelle, published in Paris, is one of the last great decorative atlases of the 19th century. It contains many stylistic elements of early 19th century cartography such as full hand coloring, numerous decorative vignettes, and high quality paper.

Artists and Engravers: J. Migeon (fl. c. 1855 - 1899) was a late 19th century map publisher based in Paris, France. His most prominent publications are the Geographie Universal in 1854 (updated through 1874) and the Nouvel Atlas Illustré de Géographie Universelle in 1891. Little is known of Migeon's life and even his first name is uncertain.
