Victor Levasseur's "Atlas National Illustre" and "Atlas Universel Illustre" are among the last decorative atlases published. The maps are all lavishly illustrated with scenes of the countryside, products and activities indigenous to the region.
A very decorative 19th century map of the continent colored to show its political divisions. The map is surrounded by lovely steel engraved scenes including horses, Indians, mining, a leopard and other indigenous animals. A very fine example of this attractive map.
