Description

A detailed 19th-century engraved map of the Département de l'Ain in eastern France, surrounded by ornate vignettes depicting local pastoral scenes, portraits of notable figures, statistical tables, and lush foliage borders. The Ain department borders Switzerland and the Rhône River, and is celebrated for its Bugey wine region as well as the historic Bresse area known for its prized poultry. Rich with hand-colored route markings and fine cartographic detail, this 1852 Levasseur map blends geographic precision with the decorative engraving style typical of French atlas cartography of the period.
