Victor Levasseur's "Atlas National Illustre" and "Atlas Universel Illustre" are among the last decorative atlases published. The maps are all lavishly illustrated with scenes of the countryside, products and activities indigenous to the region.
Fine map of the continent that is surrounded by artistically rendered vignettes depicting costumes of the various peoples of Asia, Adam and Eve, and several exotic animals.
