Algerie, Colonie Francaise.

This is a fascinating 1852 Levasseur map of the French colony of Algeria. Shows the region divided into the administrative provinces of Oban, Alger, and Constantine. The map proper 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 region depicted to the left and right of the map. Published by V. Levasseur in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.
