'Carte piscicole du département d’Indre-et-Loire'
A large and unusually detailed post-war fishing map of Indre-et-Loire, centred on Tours and covering the Loire, Cher, Indre and Vienne river systems. Published in 1950 by the departmental fishing federation with the assistance of the Administration des Eaux et Forêts, it divides the department into fishing zones and records an extensive network of rivers, tributaries and angling waters. Colour coding distinguishes waterways and fishing information, while numerous figures and abbreviations supply practical data on individual stretches. The map also marks fishing associations, administrative information and departmental angling regulations. Particularly evocative are the commercial advertisements running down both sides, promoting fishing tackle, hotels and restaurants around Tours and the Touraine region. Both a functional sporting map and a record of the organised management and promotion of freshwater fishing in post-war France.
