1892 Rhone Department French Map

Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Rhône department.

Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is slightly in the east, halfway down. Its prefecture (main administrative center) is the city of Lyon, which is the second largest city in France after Paris.

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?
