Set of five (5) imperial folio sized engraved pictorial maps from mid-19th century of departments (counties/provinces) of France and its colonies by Levasseur, a French engineer and geographer. Each image provides a history of the county depicted with accurate statistics for the mid-1800s.

Great for as large wall treatment or two smaller groupings.
Each large map is on wove paper measuring approximately 20" by 14", with superb detail and hand coloring.
