Centered around its capital of Rouen, this area is known for its production of Gournay, a soft cheese of the fresh Neufchatel type. 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. This map originates from ‘Atlas National de la France Illustré’. Published by A. Combette, Paris: 1854.
