Pub Note:
This is a dissected sheet version ot the 20 sheet map of the Tyrol. See our 11603.000 for the book version. This copy was owned by Nicolas Charles Oudinot, 1st Comte Oudinot, 1st Duc de Reggio (1767 - 1848), and a Marshal of France. A fierce fighter, the man was wounded no less than 34 times during his military career. The only one of nine siblings to live past childhood, Oudinot joined the army without a noble pedigree, and therefore without a chance of high promotion. That all changed in 1792, with the outbreak of the French Revolution. In that year, Oudinot was elected lieutenant-colonel of the third battalion of the volunteers of the Meuse. After transfer to the regular army and admirable service in Belgium, he was promoted to the rank of general in June 1794 after the Battle of Kaiserslautern. From Belgium he shifted to the German and Swiss fronts, where he fought as a general of division and chief of staff to Andre Massena. Oudinot stood out at the Battle of Monzambano so much so that Napoleon himself presented him with a sword of honor, now known as the Legion d'Honneur. Napoleon did not forget him after he established his empire; now Emperor Napoleon recognized Oudinot again, this time with a Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. During the Napoleonic Wars, Oudinot continued to acquit himself commendably. He was elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies, commanded a company of grenadiers nicknamed for him, and fought in battles from Vienna to Poland. In 1808, he was appointed governor of Erfurt and was made a Count of the French Empire. Finally, in 1809, after the Battle of Wagram, he was named a Marshal of France, France's highest military distinction. Oudinot continued to serve as an administrator in Holland and on the battlefield in the Russian campaign. After Napoleon's fall, Oudinot joined the Bourbon Restoration and stayed loyal to the King even after Napoleon's return in 1815. For his loyalty and service, he was named a peer of the realm. He served until 1823, when he participated in the French invasion of Spain. Then, he turned again to political and administrative appointments; he died while serving as governor of Les Invalides, at the veterans' hospital in Paris. Notes on the atlas: Atlas Tyrolensis, with detailed copper engraving individual maps, 58x44, integrated into collection of 20 folded maps in 2 parts: "Tyrol gegen Norden" and Tyrol gegen Suden". Drawn by Peter Anich and his student Blasius Hueber. Published by Johann Ernst Mansfeld, Vienna 1774. Title from sheet XV. Covers the area of Tyrol between Algau, Waldeck, Zell am See, and Lake Garda in the south. Relief shown by hachures and pictorially. Includes index sheet (scale 1:500,000), legend and elaborate decorative cartouches. The legend in the lower left corner of sheet XVI marks cities, villages, landmarks, mountain passes, glaciers, mines, rivers, lakes, bishop’s seats, postal stations, etc. Atlas is in dissected sheets folded into two boxes. Because of its size and elaborate details the map became one of the greatest cartographic achievements of the 18th century. Anich and Huber both came from modest backgrounds and had to develop many survey techniques themselves and were known as “peasant cartographers”. Anich surveyed the north part, but he could not finish the project himself. His assistant became his student Blasius Huber, who helped him mapping the south Tyrol.
