#1-Here is my antique map of the Languedoc. Posted before but it is so precious and beautiful & evocative that I thought I would share it with newer followers.
I can date it to somewhere between 1648 and 1659, when the Treaty of the Pyrenees changed the French/Spanish border and ceded the city of Perpignan to France, note the way the border used to skirt around Perpignan (Perpinya) close to the coast in the detailed photo. So our seaside place was originally in Spain.
The Languedoc region is a different shape today, but many place names are still identifiable. I am looking for the right vintage frame .
# 2-I have this great copy of a whaling log also destined for France, because the colours will work!
and #3 this pretty 20’s/30’s amber pressed glass dressing table set

Oddly enough I have been feeling bit Moby Dick the last couple of days …. your whaling log coincides with feeling better today 🙂
