Levasseur Department of Mayenne in north-west France. Antique map of Mayenne c1859. Carte Ancienne de Geographie de Departement du Gers. The southern third of Mayenne was the north part of the old province of Anjou. Prefecture (capital city) is Laval.
 
Original steel-engraved map circa 1859 of Departement de la Mayenne. Region nord-ouest, Pays de la Loire. This beautiful map of Mayenne is surrounded by a superbly engraved narrative of the region, with illustrations of produce, animals and birds, commerce, industry, and important personages and scenes of the region, with text engraved by Grezel and with geography and statistics by Victor Levasseur for one of the most spectacular atlases ever created, Levasseur's Atlas National Illustre (Illustrated National Atlas).

The outlining within the map is contemporary (from the time of publication). The fine hand-colour to the heavily engraved decoration is later, but certainly makes this a stunning map. With wide borders, as published this map is on a page approximately 36 x 54 cm (14 x 21 inches).
