1892 Antique Map of Finistère - France

Are you a fan of the Tour de France? Then you'll know everything about the geography of France. Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Finistère department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is the westernmost, in Brittany, on the Channel and Atlantic coastline The capital city is the beautiful town of Quimper. Famous coastal towns include the port of Brest, the island of Ouessant or the Pointe du Raz.

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, 45 r Vavin in Paris). Isn't that perfect?
