The text for this French topographical work on Britain was written by George Depping, the maps being drawn by Aristide Perrot and engraved by A. Migneret. It was first published in 1824, with subsequent editions in 1828 and 1835. The maps often cover more than one county, as in this example which covers Perthshire and Kinross. The surrounding decorative border shows the typical produce and wares of the counties. Original outline colour.
