Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Aube 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 heart of Touraine. The capital is the town of Troyes. The name of the department comes from the Aube river, which means dawn in French.

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, 33 rue des Boulangers, Paris). Isn't that perfect?
