Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Haute Garonne 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, in an area well-known for its culinary specialties based on duck. Cassoulet, foie gras, magret are all traditions of the area. It's prefecture (main administrative center) is the city of Toulouse, situated at the foot of the Pyréneés mountains and also known as the Pink city because of the color of the stone used to build its fortified walls.

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