1892 map of French Marne department

Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Marne department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is in the Northeast of France, in th Burgundy region. The capital city is Châlons-sur-Marne. The famed Champagne area, with the city of Reims, is also in this area.

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, who lived 45 rue Vavin in Paris). Isn't that perfect?
