Description |
English: This is a fascinating 1852 map of the French department of Haute-Vienne, France. Haute-Vienne is home to the commune of Limoge, which makes oak barrels used in the production of Cognac. This area is also quite famous for its porcelain (Limoge Porcelain) which they have makin since the 1700’s. 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. |
