LEVASSEUR, V. - Dépt. De La Corse. N°19.

Map of the Corsica island.

Lovely map from one of the last decorative atlases of the nineteenth century.
The rather simple map is framed by elaborate border showing regional costume, produce and local historical figures - dominated here by Napoleon.
Victor Levasseur's "Atlas National Illustré" and "Atlas Universel Illustré" are among the last great decorative atlases published.
This map comes from the Atlas National Illustré.
