Description: This is a beautiful 1751 map of the Duchy of Savoy by Rober de Vaugondy. It covers from Vevey in Switzerland south to Valloire, France and from Nantua east as far as Chatillon in the Aosta Valley of Italy. The map renders the entire region in extraordinary detail offering both topographical and political information with forests and mountains beautifully rendered in profile. It depicts the Savoie wine region of France, popular for its rare white wines from grapes unique to this region. These include the Chignin Bergeron wines, made from grapes from the Montmelian and Chignin regions, in the southwest quadrant of the map and the Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir wines. The map includes a beautifully engraved title cartouche in the top right quadrant. This map was drawn by Robert de Vaugondy in 1752 and published in the 1757 issue of his Atlas Universal.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped.
