Sidney Hall's engraving gives a family likeness to these maps from An Atlas of Modern Geography, Samuel Butler's atlas for students and general readers, published in London by the Longman firm. France is especially well represented, shown both in its old provinces and in the departmental system, so the two ways of dividing the country can be compared directly.
