Minerals, industries and battlefields are marked across the coloured departmental maps of France published by A. Le Vasseur. They come from his Grand Atlas départemental de la France, de l'Algérie et des colonies, with text by H. Fisquet, and the sheets here are dated 1876. Coloured boundaries organise the towns, rivers and departments, while annotations identify resources and date the battles, from the northern and eastern departments to the Rhône country and the Pyrenees, with names such as Seine-et-Oise and Basses-Pyrénées. Le Vasseur was the Paris publisher associated with the Abel Pilon business, not the author of Fisquet's text nor the decorative cartographer Victor Levasseur.
