Plates 1-86 are maps of the French départements; plates 87-92, of the French colonies; plates [93 ] - [100], of 6 continents and of the world. All are hand coloured.

All the maps are, 290 x 430mm, have illustrated borders, are individually titled and include statistical information, and engraved portraits , illustrations and views. The missing map is that of France. The engraved title page is soiled and imperfect outside the impression, the maps are tending loose in the binding, and are occasionally thumbed in the margins. The World map at the end is imperfect due to incorrect folding. The binding is half vellum over worn and scuffed marbled paper over boards. Overall, a very good set of attractive maps housed in a worn binding. [Victor Jules] Levasseur (1795 –1862) was a French cartographer renowned for his inimitable style. This Atlas was first published in 1847.
