About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Dépt. de l'Allier'. Map of the French department of l'Allier, France. This area of France is known for its production of Saint-Pourçain wine. It is also one of the rare places in Southern Europe where the freshwater grayling, known in French as ombre des rivières, occurs in a natural habitat. The whole 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. This map originates from ‘Atlas National de la France Illustré’. Published by A. Combette, Paris, 1854.
