Published in Paris as part of Larmat's Atlas de la France Vinicole, the volume is devoted to French eaux-de-vie. Its maps distinguish Grande and Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois and the coastal districts, from Cognac and Angoulême to La Rochelle and the islands of Ré and Oléron. Prints show harvesting, barrel making at Aulnay-de-Saintonge, casks and the Châteaux de Cognac and de la Rochecourbon, and statistical plates chart vineyard area, harvests, production and exports.
