EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully crafted fan depicting the map of France as it was divided into nine regions, along with ten metropolises and eighty-three departments.

The intricate details of this fan highlight the country's administrative divisions during a significant period in history - the French Revolution. Each region is meticulously outlined, showcasing its unique geographical features and provinces. This cartographical masterpiece serves as both a historical record and a stunning work of art.
