\lettrine{A}ntique maps are full of engraved geohistorical features. They provide representations of past states of the geographical space and are favored by historians and social scientists for their uniqueness and coherence. Working on a GIS dedicated to the history of the French territory, we extracted spatial information from the Cassini \textit{Carte de France} (full name \textit{Carte générale \textsc{\textit{\&}} particulière de la France}) as vector data. Based on the first geodetic survey of France [1, 4], this well-known and monumental map has been drawn on 182 paper sheets of size 610 x 955~mm at the scale of 1:86~400 or 1 line for 100~toises (\textit{i.e.} 1 inch to 1.36 miles). It depicts the French territory with fine-grained information about populated and named places, settlements, landscape features, hydrographic, ecclesiastical and road networks [3, 5, 6, 7]. As a case study, the sheet numbered 52 provided more than \num{6800} spatial footprints that we have stored as a geographical database. Following the distinction made by Cassini himself between \og geometric \fg and \og topographic \fg entities, our geographical database is composed of two families of data, namely Triangulated Geographical Entities (\og geometric \fg entities in Cassini’s own terms) whose geodetic properties are partly documented (Map. \ref{map:contours}) and Relative Geographical Entities (\og topographic \fg in Cassini’s terms) which are dependent on and located relative to the former (Map. \ref{map:triangulated-relative}). Those entities are analytically distinct but come together from a single artifact: the primary source they have been engraved in during the mapmaking process. Because this process of embeddedness is not fully documented, retrieving both classes of entities called for a cautious cartographic visualisation with similar semiological rules and aesthetics as the original historical map. This \og Cassini map style \fg preserves the cartographic properties of the geohistorical data extracted from this primary source: generalisation, scale, spatial granularity and the overall intentions of the mapmakers [2]. Often neglected, such properties are constitutive components and dimensions of the mapping style which forms the context of and gives crucial information on the accuracy and the relationships between geohistorical data enclosed in. Our GIS-based reconstructed map (Map. \ref{GIS-based map}), which comes with its own legend and descriptive statistics (Tab. \ref{tab:stats} and \ref{tab:symbols}), provides a renewed cartographic visualisation of the entire sheet 52. It reveals unnoticed cartographic entities that were hardly legible in the original map (Fig. 4a-b).\\

%This large-scale map was built upon a trigonometric canvas rigorously calculated by Cassini's engineers, making it easier to georeference (/for georeferencing).
\small{%The Cassini map was a technical and scientific showcase of the progress made in astronomy. Rigorous trigonometric calculations, which had allowed the build of this large-scale map, also permited its accurate georeferencing. (see table~\ref{table:translation}).
This large-scale map was built upon a trigonometric canvas rigorously calculated by Cassini's engineers, making it easier to georeference (see table~\ref{table:translation}). Although less important to Cassini, land use and networks are visually salient in the map. These geographical objects were not triangulated but rather sketched out on sight by the surveyors. Their planimetric accuracy is therefore low and their contours imprecise (table~\ref{tab:stats}). Due to the visual clutter produced by the abundance of place names as labels, it is easy to miss the richness and density of places portrayed recorded in the map. It offers a detailed view of the 18\up{th} century French settlement and proto-industrial landscape with a high consistency across sheets. Table~\ref{tab:symbols} shows the quantity and diversity of places in the sheet numbered 52. Symbols refer to the legend of map \ref{GIS-based map}.}

Drawn up from 1759 to 1777 under the direction of César François \textsc{Cassini de Thury}, Charles Étienne Louis \textsc{Camus} (then Rodolphe \textsc{Perronet}) and Étienne \textsc{Mignot de Montigny}. \textbf{Triangulated from 1759 to 1775} by P.~de~\textsc{La~Court} (\textsc{ne} partial, 1759), François \textsc{Pasumot}, Claude \textsc{Pezet}, \textsc{Dallier} and \textsc{Dailley} (\textsc{no-so}, c. 1764-1766), Louis \textsc{Le~Bel} (\textsc{se}, 1766-1768; \textsc{ne} and \textsc{so}, 1769), \textsc{Dubois} \textit{\&} Louis \textsc{Cabay} (\textsc{no-ne}, 1772-1773), Q\textsc{uerry} \textit{\&} François \textsc{La~Ruelle} (\textsc{ne}, 1774-1775). \textbf{Field checked, 1767-1774} by P. \textsc{Renault} (\textsc{se}, 1767-1768), Q\textsc{uerry} \textit{\&} F.~\textsc{La~Ruelle} (\textsc{no-ne-so}, 1774). \textbf{Map engraved in Paris in 1774-1777} by Louis \textsc{Capitaine} son (for the plan, 1774-1776) and Nicolas \textsc{Bourgoin} (for the letter, 1775-1777). Printed intaglio on the press of Paris Observatory in 1777 on behalf of the \textit{Compagnie associée pour la Carte générale de la France}. Presented to the King and the Royal Court, Versailles, April 16, 1777 (\og silk printing \fg).\\

%\textsc{From antique to renewed GIS-based historical map}
\vfill
%\small %\lettrine{H}istoriography of cartography has long been based on critical edition of old maps published as non-georeferenced \textit{facsimile}. We propose to renew this approach by producing digital maps from vector geographic databases that combine the aesthetics and semiology of old mapping styles with the modelling capabilities of modern GIS.

\caption{Vector geographic data extracted from the digitized and georeferenced original map (a) is arranged into GIS layers and composed to build the renewed version of the Cassini's \textit{Carte de France}. Subfigures (b), (c) and (d) show an overview of the 15-layers composition that results in the final rendering à la Cassini (e).}
