Born from the division of the province of Barrois during the French Revolution in 1790, the department of Meuse, located in Lorraine, has witnessed major events, particularly during the 19th century when its border position made it strategic . Verdun, the memorable city marked by bloody battles, particularly during the First World War, and Bar-le-Duc, with its rich architectural heritage, remain crucial urban centers. Other towns like Commercy, famous for its madeleines, and Saint-Mihiel, known for its Benedictine abbey, add cultural texture to the department. Elegant Étain, picturesque Montmédy, charming Revigny-sur-Ornain, the artisan town of Stenay and thriving Ligny-en-Barrois complete the urban mosaic. The Meuse landscape, shaped by the Meuse and Aire valleys, provides fertile ground for agriculture and livestock farming, contributing to the local economy alongside industry and tourism. Raymond Poincaré, native of Bar-le-Duc, embodies the political and intellectual history of the department. To own an antique map of the Meuse is to offer yourself a window on the territorial, social and cultural changes which marked this territory in the 19th century, where it was a crossroads between French and German influences, an undeniable element for any collector or lover of the department. Its borders, once the subject of disputes and battles, today peaceful cordons, symbolize the evolution of the territory and its inhabitants. At the time, it was a department of borders, both geographical and cultural, and its place in the region was affirmed by its resilience and its centuries-old history.
