The object visible in the photo is a black and white printed map, rectangular in shape, showing marked fold lines. It is held open by four adhesive rollers at the corners, highlighting its large surface area and the details of the geographical layout. The map presents a detailed network of contour lines, rivers, roads, and toponymic indications, typical of French maps for administrative or military use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top part of the map features a purple perforated strip, probably for a filing or wall-hanging system. The margins are wide, in a slightly yellowed cream color, which suggests a certain age and gives the whole a retro look. Visible inscriptions include “CARTE DE FRANCE 1:50 000” at the top left, confirming the scale and technical purpose of the map. At the bottom, a very detailed legend spans the width of the map, explaining the symbols used (roads, railways, administrative boundaries, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine and precise lines, the typography of the indications, and the general style suggest an edition from the mid to late 20th century, typical of productions by the Institut Géographique National (IGN) or its predecessors. No brand logo is explicitly identifiable on the visible portion, but the presentation conforms to the standards of French general staff maps of that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe map shows signs of use, with longitudinal and transverse folds, slightly curled corners and a few small marks, but no major tears are visible. The details of the Pertuis region, the relief, and the road networks are perfectly legible, making this document as decorative as it is informative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of old map is valued for its documentary value, its refined graphic style, and its ability to illustrate the evolution of the territory. It can serve as a decorative wall piece, an educational tool, or a reference element for historical or geographical research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

The reference system by numbered \"sheets\" (here 7-8 for Pertuis) ensured systematic and precise coverage of the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast shipping and careful packaging guaranteed by a professional seller specializing in antique objects and vintage documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: old Pertuis map, retro France map, vintage topographic map, IGN map, general staff sheet, old France map, old geographical map, vintage wall map, collector's map, folded Pertuis map, decorative map, vintage map France\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54317215973703,"sku":"60cd2c07-8e52-4815-beaf-fc04a0f8650d","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_f073a70a-4010-4d0e-8eb5-85fc3ac861c1.jpg?v=1783617116","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/carte-topographique-vintage-pertuis-7-8-france-retro-pliee-plan-ancien","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
