This French historical chart provides a comprehensive overview of the history, geography, and political organization of Switzerland up to the early 19th century. Published in Paris by J.C. Pain, it combines text, tabular data, and illustrations to document key events and figures in Swiss history from 1307 to 1832. At the top center is a detailed depiction of Swiss cantonal coats of arms surmounted by a flag bearer, surrounded by explanatory panels covering constitutional changes, key treaties, and notable biographical information about influential Swiss families and individuals.
A small inset map highlights the geography of Switzerland and its divisions, while the decorative border frames the chart in a style typical of historical wall charts.
The publication, part of an effort to document European historical revolutions, reflects the growing interest in Switzerland’s unique political and social development during a time of significant upheaval and reform across Europe.
Printed by Imprimerie et Fonderie de Rignoux in Paris, this chart served both as a historical reference and a visual celebration of Swiss heritage.
