This chromolithographed city plan of Marseille captures France's great Mediterranean port at the height of its colonial-era prosperity. Produced by the renowned F.A. Brockhaus publishing house for their prestigious Konversations-Lexikon, the map presents a comprehensive view of the city in the mid-1890s, from the historic Vieux Port at its heart to the expanding industrial docks of the Bassin National along the western shore.
The delicate color palette distinguishes built-up areas in salmon pink from the soft blue waters of the Golfe du Lion, while red accents mark significant buildings and landmarks. Railway lines and tramway routes are carefully delineated, documenting the transportation infrastructure that connected Marseille to the broader French rail network. The elevated terrain around Endoume and the Château d'If area is rendered in subtle green-gray tones.
A standout piece for collectors of antique cartography, French city documentation, or Mediterranean maritime history. The map represents the peak of German encyclopedic cartography and offers a fascinating window into Marseille before the dramatic changes of the twentieth century.
Size: 9.75" x 6.25"
