A detailed and colorful pictorial map of France, filled with drawings of historic sites, incidents and portraits of important French men and women, including explanatory captions. Showing major rivers and other bodies of water, counties, cities and towns. There are ships and historical vessels in the oceans, and whimsical beings such as the sea monster in the Atlantic Ocean and the merman holding a staff topped by a fleur-de-lis in the compass rose. Other interesting feature includes the "German farthest advance" in World War I. Map framed by a decorative border, also includes a portrait of Napoleon and coat of Arms. A small table lists "distinguished citizens born in Paris." A tiny credit line in the lower left border above the publication information appears to read "A. Walker W.E. Vogelear."
