1892 Antique Indre Map - France

Virtual Tour de France! Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French deparment: the Indre department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is in the center of France, in the famous Burgundy area (Bourgogne) and its prefecture (main administrative center) is the city of Châteauroux. As with many other French départements, it was named after a river which runs through it.

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). Isn't that perfect?
