This is a wonderful 1875 map of the Department of Gironde, France, published by Feret and Fils. It depicts the Gironde on a grand scale with color coding according to wine region and type. The map also notes several important towns, villages, rivers, canals, railways, and topography. This coastal department is the seat of the Bordeaux wine region and produces many of the world's finest reds. Most maps of the Gironde reference the region's rich winemaking tradition, but this map actually highlights important vineyards and wine regions as well as offering significant supplemental data regarding the types of wine produced. The map was published by Feret and Fils in, 1875. Engraved by Regnier and Dourdet, Paris.
