About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Dépt Du Tarn'. Map of the French department of Du tarn, France.

This area produces a variety of traditional wines, including Cahors, Mauzac, Loin de l’Oeil and Ondenc for the white varieties and Braucol, Duras and Prunelart for the reds. 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. Nicely hand-colored and very decorative.

This map originates from ‘Atlas National de la France Illustré’. Published by A. Combette, Paris.
