Discover the charm of the Corrèze department through this delicate antique map, taken from Levasseur’s *Atlas national illustré de la France* (National Illustrated Atlas of France), engraved in the 19th century.
The illustration depicts the department, featuring finely traced roads, communes, and boundaries, accented with touches of color. Tulle, Brive, and Ussel appear at the heart of a rich, engraved setting that evokes the local landscape—complete with goats, a rooster, donkeys, fish, game, truffles, barrels, and hunting rifles—while a suspension bridge, the department’s coat of arms, and portraits of local figures round out the composition. On the sides, a statistical summary and a list of notable individuals from the department highlight the meticulous care put into this work.
