An original French map with printed colour. Inset maps of Paris and Corsica. At some point, someone has traced in various routes (holiday trips?) and highlighted some cities and lakes with red pencil (see Image 2). However, I feel this does not detract from the overall quality of this magnificent map. Highly detailed with cities, rivers, railways shown together with relief indicated by hachuring.
