Page approx. 31 x 21.8 cm (12’’ 1/4 x 8’’ 1/2), margins included. Map approx. 23.5 x 15.2 cm (9’’ 1/4 x 6’’)
Gorgeous little 19th century engraving from a French geography dictionary showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Gard department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is in the South West. Its prefecture (main administrative center) is the city of Nîmes, which is famous for its antique arenas. It is also famous for the Pont du Gard, a large Roman aqueduct.
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 (Mce. Perrin, who lived Rue des Boulangers, 34 in Paris).
SIZE: Page approx. 31 x 21.8 cm (12’’ 1/4 x 8’’ 1/2), margins included. Map approx. 23.5 x 15.2 cm (9’’ 1/4 x 6’’)
Isn't that perfect?
