Description

A richly decorated 19th-century engraved map of the Département de la Drôme in southeastern France, surrounded by ornamental vignettes depicting local agriculture, industry, tools, and figures in regional dress. The Drôme is a department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, named after the Drôme River, and is known for its lavender fields, truffle production, and the Vercors plateau. Statistical tables and descriptive texts in French flank the central map, making this an authoritative geographical and cultural document of mid-19th-century French cartography.
