Meissas et Michelot

Anecdote

I haven't bought many 1869 maps of Europe in recent years, but here's one that arrived yesterday.



It's gorgeous.

It's also French, and was sent from France, which explains why it arrived yesterday even though I bought it before I knew I was retiring.

I wasn't aware that the French for Edinburgh was Edimbourg. Still, I'm sure I'll have forgotten this the next time I encounter the fact, so can be surprised again.

The map came with a certificat d'authenticité. If that doesn't mean it's a fake, I don't know what does.
