Pyrenean spas and the railways that carried Victorian visitors to them fill these maps from South of France - west half, from the fourth edition published by Adam and Charles Black in 1885. Regional railway maps accompany plans of destinations such as Pau and Poitiers, and around Pau, Bigorre, Lourdes and Cauterets the maps link resort towns with mountain valleys and excursion routes. Wider sheets trace the journey south from Paris through central France or extend towards Spain and Portugal, matching the needs of a traveller who arrived by train and then made shorter local trips.
