French Andorra issued a
set of two stamps with old maps. The low value features a fragment of
a map by A. Lhullier, the first printed map of the country, dated
1717.
The high value features a
map by Lengelée dated 1777.- Carte géographique de la vallée
d'Andorra which includes Andorra on two sheets. It was drawn by
Nicolas Lengelée, engineer of Cassini for the Carte Générale de la
France. He carried out on-site fieldwork and gave this map
to the Andorran authorities.
