Are you a fan of the Tour de France? Then you'll know everything about the geography of France. Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Creuse department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is in the center of France, on the North West borders of the Massif Central, an area known for its rural peace and tranquility.The capital city is the town of Guéret.

This dictionary page comes from a rare damaged 1892 French Trousset dictionary. It was engraved on thick paper. Under the map, there are in both bottom corners mentions of the company which engraved it (Paris Lith. Lemercier & Cie) and even of the person who did the actual engraving (E. Morieu, 45 rue Vavin in Paris). Isn't that perfect?
