DESCRIPTION

Large linen-backed jointed folding engraved map, country borders hand-coloured, piano key border, dedication to Lord Dudley Stuart. This scarce map, which stretches as far east as the Caspian Sea, shows the routes across Europe.

French map of Europe showing postal routes and distances between important cities and towns... National borders are colored, and railroad lines are outlined in red. Geographic features such as rivers, lakes, and mountains are included. A table on the right lists European capitals, their distances from Paris in kilometers and postal leagues, and the populations of each. Another lists the main cities of each department of France with the distances from Paris in kilometers and postal leagues. The legend is located just below the two tables.
