It was produced in the early 19th century by French geographer Pierre-Gilles Chanlaire and is part of the [Atlas](https://www.worldhistory.org/Atlas/) National de France. The map reflects the territorial organization implemented by Napoleonic administration in the Belgian regions during the imperial period.
