Description |
English: This is a fascinating 1852 map of the French department of Nievre, France. Part of the prestiegous Burgundy or Bourgogne wine region this area is known for its production of Pouilly Fumé, a white wine. The word “fumé” is French for “smoke,” and it is said the name comes from the smoky quality of these wines. The map proper is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate both the natural beauty and trade richness of the land. There is a short textual history of the regions depicted on both the left and right sides of the map. Published by V. Levasseur in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree. |
