ILE DE LA REUNION

One of the most attractive maps of Reunion. The central map is surrounded by a beautifully engraved narrative of the region, important people (Parny and Bertin), normal mortals in local clothing, and produce and industries of the region with a view of the city on the shoreline and tall mountains - all surrounded by local vegetation and surmounted by cloth-and-vine suspending a beribboned frame enclosing a building.
