This is the left-hand sheet of Chatelain's very interesting two-sheet chart illustrating the various religious divisions in Europe and Egypt. The chart provides tables of French text describing the persecutions of Christians, chronology of various kingdoms, popes, etc. Included is a map (7 x 8.5") of Western Europe and another (5.7 x 7") very detailed map of Egypt. As the map of Europe is continued on the right-hand sheet, there is no neatline at right. Still attractive in its own right.
