English: This is a fascinating 1857 map of the French department of Ile. Bourbon or Reunion. Bourbon, or Reunion, is a volcanic island off the coast of Africa. It is one of France's few remaining colonies in the Indian Ocean. Reunion is known for its striking natural beauty and marvelous beaches. The whole is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate both the natural beauty and trade richness of the land. There is a short textual history of the regions depicted on both the left and right sides of the map. Published by V. Levasseur in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree. |
