Title
Dept. de Maine et Loire.
Description
English: This is a fascinating 1852 map of the French department of Maine et Loire, France. This area of France is part of the Loire Valley wine region, where nearly every wine imaginable is produced. Maine et Loire itself is home to the largest vineyard in the Loire Valley. It is also known for its production of Port-Salut, a distinctive, semi-soft cow’s milk cheese. 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.
