Gorgeous little engraving showing a delicately colorized map of a French department: the Calvados department. Do you know where it is situated? As you may know, France is divided in 101 department. This one is in the Northwest of France, in Normandy, on the Channel coastline The capital city is the beautiful town of Caen. Famous coastal towns include Honfleur, Trouville and Deauville. And if you love French cheeses, you'll recognize a number of names of places which gave their name to a famous cheese, like Livarot or Pont l'Evêque.

This dictionary page comes from a rare damaged 1892 French Trousset dictionary. It was engraved on thick paper. Under the map, there are in both bottom corners mentions of the company which engraved it (Paris Lith. Lemercier & Cie) and even of the person who did the actual engraving (Mce. Perrin, Rue des Boulangers 34 in Paris). Isn't that perfect?
