Description |
English: This is a fascinating 1852 map of the French department of Tarn et Garonne, France. This map is centered around the city of Moissac, which is known for its fine desert grapes. This area produces a number of quality wines, such as AOC Fronton, Cotes de Brulhois, and the Vins de Pays des Côteaux et Terrasses de Montauban. Tarn et Garonne is also home to the area of Côteaux du Quercy, which has a reputation for producing supple and full-bodied wines. This region is also a historic stopping point on the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella. 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. |
