Victor Levasseur's "Atlas National Illustre" and "Atlas Universel Illustre" are among the last decorative atlases published. The maps are all lavishly illustrated with scenes of the countryside, products and activities indigenous to the region.

This great copper engraved map features the Republic of Texas. It shows the United States extending into present-day Canada, with Russia in control of Alaska, and Mexico's northern border is drawn according to the Treaty of 1819 (here mis-printed as 1810). Surrounded by beautifully engraved scenes of North and Central America including local animals, a ship stranded in the polar sea, and a Mayan temple.
