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 engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Landes department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is in the Southwest of France on the Atlantic coast. It's an an area known for its beautiful sandy pine forests as well as its gastronomy : cassoulet, Bayonne ham and of course foie-gras and everything duck.
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, Rue des Boulangers 34 in Paris). Isn't that perfect?
