1892 map of French Loire department

Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Loire department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is a little to the right of the center of France, in the Auvergne- Rhône-Alpes région. The capital city is Saint Etienne, famous for its football team. It includes the upper reaches of the Loire river.

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, Rue des Boulangers 34 in Paris). Isn't that perfect?
