Bilder Émile Baudement (1819–1886) – Map of France, Lines of Bovine Influence – Hand-coloured Lithograph (1857)

Beskrivning

This detailed, hand-coloured Map, titled "Map of France, Lines of Bovine Influence," is a specialized thematic map of France. Unlike a purely regional map, this illustration uses an intricate network of overlaying coloured lines (pink, green, blue, yellow) to chart the historical migration, mixture, and influence of various cattle breeds throughout the country. The map depicts regional boundaries as a backdrop to this zootechnical analysis. This print is sourced from Émile Baudement’s authoritative work, Les races bovines au concours universel agricole de Paris in 1856. Études zootechniques (The Cattle Breeds at the Universal Agricultural Exhibition of Paris in 1856. Zootechnical Studies), published by the Imprimerie Impériale.

Émile Baudement was a French agricultural scientist and professor of zootechnics at the Conservatoire des arts et métiers. He was commissioned by the French government to document the world's finest cattle breeds following the 1856 Paris exhibition, resulting in this scientifically and artistically significant zootechnical atlas.
